Apusenii Verzi, aims to demonstrate that it is possible to live a modern lifestyle which does not hurt the earth. Human beings are, through living on the land, able to develop a mutually beneficial relationship with the natural world...
.
.
We have all the approval, planning permission, plots, Building plan and we are now in the phase of implementing the project so we are looking for Same Minded People To Get Involved with us.....
.
Be friend of the project and you can connect to us in Face book:

To live a low-impact lifestyle is to live lightly on the earth.
.
In essence, this means to intelligently and intensively manage our surrounding environment in order to maximize return (in the forms of energy, water, food, shelter and products) and minimize waste (through recycling, composting and energy efficient systems).
.
Some example
.
Please examine those two site carefully and in details, since that present project of Eco Village in the Apusenii - Transylvania is based on the same principle.
.
.
.
In practice, this means to adopt a land-based, simple, localized lifestyle that works with the land and natural cycles available to us.
.
In order to explore low-impact living, it is necessary to create an integrated system of dwellings and infrastructure able to support such a venture.
.
Low-impact development provides an unprecedented opportunity for the repopulation of the countryside by people committed to land-based, environmentally-conscious living.
.
We, as human beings, are dependant on the earth for our needs. We are an intrinsic part of the web of life, indeed we hold a privileged position. With good stewardship the potential for diversity and abundance is enormous. We believe this can best be achieved by bringing together the enlightened management of our natural world and integrating it with the management of the land to meet our own needs. This requires a personal and intimate connection with our environment, and requires people living and working with the natural rhythms and cycles that form our world.
.
Low-impact architecture uses a combination of recycled and natural materials. The project is essentially a self-build affair consisting of several detached dwellings and different terrace of four dwellings. There will be a combination of building styles including straw bale, earth sheltered, timber frame and cob. The houses will feature the latest environmental technologies and design techniques. The dwellings will blend into the landscape. Indeed they will be largely made from elements of the landscape (for example turf roofs, cob walls, timber cladding).
