Ecotopia

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday July 30, 2002 22:34author by billy - gluaiseachtauthor email info at ecotopia2002 dot org Report this post to the editors

Ecotopia is a gathering of people from all over Europe, and beyond, who are interested in environmental and social change.


Ecotopia 2002 will be a two-week environmental festival taking place on the shores of Lough Derg in Clare, South West Ireland. The campsite is on the shores of Lough Derg which is part of the Shannon Irelands longest River. It is an 83 acre broadleaf woodland with clearings for camping, dining & workshops. At ecotopia the Shannons calmness will be ever present!
People from all over Ireland and Europe will travel to this beautifully scenic place. It will include workshops, discussion groups, talks and activities covering a wide range of issues. The theme of this years gathering is Conflict Resolution and thus workshops on this will be held throughout. Some other areas which we hope to cover are environmental awareness, gardening, organic farming, recycling, alternative medicines, media and Indymedia, vegetarianism, ecological building, direct action, environmental law, nuclear power and energy, energy efficiency, geology, geography, ancient Irish history, genetix, sustainable living, music, dance, gender, permaculture, climate change, global social issues and the list goes on!!

During the two weeks we hope to live as a sustainable community using renewable energy resources and having the smallest possible impact on the local environment. There will be a vegetarian/vegan kitchen and children’s area. Groups will leave the camp every few days to take part in actions in the area and also to help with some local projects ; for example an area clean-up. A number of temporary structures will be built for dining, meetings and also for sleeping in.

If anyone would like to give a workshop or talk please get in touch with workshops@ecotopia2002.org.


A straw bale house will be built on site.

Could you give details of getting to Birdhill (The nearest Rail Station) by Train from Ballybrophy or Limerick. Birdhill is only about 10 miles from Ecotopia, compared to 20 or so for Limerick; people can then get a local bus, hitch a lift, or walk or cycle from Birdhill to Ecotopia.
