The 
has added another carriage!!
This week (after 
became the lead story on steem news about our new eco-village project in Portugal) we were DELUGED with content. So much so that and I have taken the decision to put out TWO curations every week: The Eco Village News on Fridays (or as close to as we can manage) and the new Eco Living Weekly on Sundays.
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. You need to use the #ecotrain tag to be considered for an upvote. And please make at least part of your post in the English language - we MANUALLY curate so we need to be able to understand the gist of your post.
We DON'T require you to delegate to
