Uma Exploração de Comunidades Sustentáveis na América Latina.
The Común Tierra Project is a research of sustainable communities in Latin America (from Mexico to Brazil), began in May 2010. During the course of four years, Letícia and Ryan are visiting sustainable communities, eco villages and permaculture centers documenting their ideas, creative techniques and tools that can be applied around the world. The information collected is shared through this website including: multimedia map and guide (featuring photos and videos) of the projects, network of people and organizations involved, and background on various educational materials on related subjects. Here you can research, participate, connect and contribute towards a more sustainable world. Join the network, and get involved!
