**************************************************************
The
members of each Suburban Ecovillage determine their own organization, priorities
and methods. However, basic precepts must be honored in order for a
community to identify itself with the Suburban Ecovillage Project, as follows:
- A
Suburban Ecovillage does not discriminate against prospective participants
because of race, color, national/ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexual
identity/orientation or disability.
- A
Suburban Ecovillage does not countenance physical, verbal or emotional
violence. The means by which each ecovillage addresses these issues
will be determined by the community. (In time, we hope the network of
villages will develop a body of experience and effective solutions that we
can share here. If you are aware of a good website that addresses this
issue, please contact us.)
- A
Suburban Ecovillage does not coerce members to be "more
sustainable" or set minimum requirements for membership. The goal
of sustainability is not served by exclusion but by inclusion.
Ecovillagers respect each member's right to progress in ecological knowledge
and action at his or her own pace. Members with lower carbon
footprints may model sustainable behaviors and share information with
those who express an interest.
- Each
member of the community will participate "in community" at whatever level feels comfortable.
Community members will come together around their common interests while respecting one
another's differences and private space. No coercion may be used to
force participation or pay dues or fees. However, Suburban Ecovillage
organizations may develop tiered levels of membership based on participation
and/or payment of dues or fees.
