Results: Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage is a living example of how society could look if we successfully transitioned to a healthy, resilient ecological way of life. Over the years Dancing Rabbit has become a beacon of hope, inspiring and leading the world toward that goal. Established in 1997, we are now a village of 75 residents who have reduced their ecological impact by 90% compared to the average American -- that’s 90% less water, electricity, motor fuel and natural gas. Our goal is to lead the way toward a sustainable future by demonstrating that people can live rich, vibrant lives while leaving an ecological footprint that our planet can sustain. Dancing Rabbit's residents are seeking, discovering, and living real solutions to the challenges we all face. We are offering what we've learned to others, so they can bring solutions to their communities, and a truly sustainable culture can take root around the world
