Rather than needing to hop in the car for every little outing, part of what is so attractive about living in a well-designed ecovillage is the walkability factor. By placing the community within easy walking distance of daily needs like markets, shops and services — or by providing some of those things within the mini neighborhood, community members can skip the car (at least most of the time).
