Eco Living Weekly celebrates our collective efforts to live more harmoniously on Mother Earth, and walks hand-in-hand each week with @ecotrain's other eco-village curation, Global Steem Village News. It's a "best of" from posts on the steem blockchain this past week which have used the #ecotrain tag.
What kind of content will get you curated here? Practical, thoughtful, creative and personal posts about literally Making the World a Better Place. From recycling, art, natural health and organic-permaculture to eco-travel, creating change, spirituality, art-poetry-music, natural food preparation and growing-storing-preserving your food and natural medicine. Please attribute quoted material and images which aren't your own, and be thoughtful.
We give the greatest support to those who post from our ecotrain community. From now on please use the tag hive-123046 as the first tag OR post from our community page and then use any tags you like at https://steempeak.com/c/hive-123046/created And please make at least part of your post in the English language - we MANUALLY curate with over 60,000 SP so we need to be able to understand the gist of your post.
We DON'T require you to delegate to @ecotrain, but we'd ask you to please consider it. You can take it back at any time, no questions or stress. Delegation is nothing more than a LOAN of your SP so we can give YOU juicier upvotes. It's a no brainer, really. We also don't REQUIRE you to upvote or support others (all too school-marmy for us!) but, again, we'd ask you to simply give to others what you' like to receive, which is a generous upvote and a thoughtful comment.
MUCH APPRECIATION for the wonderful posts this week.
Please: read, upvote, comment, resteem the posts we've selected for you. Share them on twitter, facebook and your other social media. And start writing YOUR next @ecotrain post.

@eco-alex
Welcome To The New SpiritWeb Community! " Q. What does it mean to be a
Spiritual Person?
True eco-living grows out of the realization of connectedness - that we are all one. The ecotrain community has always explored spiritual questions, but we now have our very own NEW COMMUNITY to do that in: SpiritWeb. Please come join us as there too as we discuss, learn, share, grow and evolve.
@celestialcow
The sad reality of the state of our seas
Step one of eco-living for us as individuals, and as a global community, is to OWN the mess we have collectively created. @celestialcow gives us an honest look-see at the beachfront in Borneo, Indonesia - quite a difference between the Insta version and the real-time edition. Please look, own, feel, commit, act.

#EndPlasticPollution Campaign | We saved 1013 Plastic Bottles from the Environment in January 2020
Best use for empty plastic bottles? Using them as containers for GROWING NEW TREES. @thegreens take recycling and upcycling to new levels in Bamenda, Cameroon, West Africa. Be inspired!

Wax On, Wax Off: Are Any Waxes Cruelty Free?
Making natural balms of deodorants requires wax. Is any of it cruelty free? @riverflows asks a GREAT question and evaluates some of the alternatives.

Environmental Impacts #7 - Black Gold
@scholaris continues his Environmental Impacts series and talks about Oil. Energy is SUCH a critical need for socieities (as we have made them) and yet the energy choices we have collectively made are destroying Mother Earth. Understanding the complexity is a beginning step to making different choices. This is a great series for #homeedders & #homeschoolers.
@imransoudagar
Planting trees means little if they don't grow. @imransdougar shares a proud moment as he looks back on trees planted in 2019 - all happily growing and beginning to transform an urban concrete environment while they contribute oxygen and sequester carbon. How many trees did YOU plant in 2019? Your target this year?
The Ecotrain Question of the Week is one way that we, as a digital community, engage and share, learn and inform about things that matter. The QOTW is open to anyone, and this week's question is related to our companions here on Mother Earth - our animal friends.
ANYone can contribute!! Let us know your post URL in the comments of the Launch Post ^^ so we can upvote, comment, engage, support and curate you in our Tie Up Post. This QOTW, Season 3, Number 7, closes Friday 28th February! You have plenty of time to post!!!
The Steem Community of Thought grows and evolves as we grapple with some of the challenges of life.

We hope you have enjoyed these eco-living posts - please LAVISH them with upvotes, reblogs, comments and engagement.
If you're able to delegate, or increase your delegation, to @ecotrain, it's a simple and practical way you can help to engage with, and fund, eco-living communities around the world.
Most importantly, consider writing in the new ecoTrain Community this coming week - we love all posts eco-green, earth building, spiritual and natural, but mostly as those things relate to personal eco-living change and the building and evolution of eco-community.
