What needs does The Village Eco Development Center address?
The Village Eco Development Center services are designed to help restore and protect the Earth's ecological systems, which have suffered almost irreparable damage during the past 50 years as a result of unsustainable lifestyles such as high rates of consumption, urban sprawl and waste. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the land we live on all have been grossly polluted. Sometimes problems seem so big they are overwhelming; it's hard to see how you can change things. The Village Eco Development Center's programs give children and young adults a chance to change things at a micro-level...their level. We can work individually to effect change in our own lives, work together to change our community, and eventuallybring about global change.
