Forming Formed: 1998 Established: 2004
EarthArt Village
Moffat, Colorado,
United States
 EarthArt Village is in formation, with intention to evolve as a model, holistic, sustainable community--living harmoniously with the Earth, sharing resources and responsibilities, and balancing the common good of the group with the well-being of each member. The purposes of this cooperative association are to:
1- Own, manage, and maintain land and facilities for the benefit, health, and well-being of the residential community and other members.
2-Cultivate lifestyles demonstrating the learning and living of cooperation, simplicity, creative expression, and respect for one another and nature. Honor, steward, protect, and enhance the natural environment.
3-Establish energy-efficient, ecologically sound living, learning, working, and playing environments, using sustainable design, methods, and materials.
4-Research, develop, and maintain alternative, off-grid, sustainable infrastructure: common food, energy, water, and waste-management systems.
5-Conduct community endeavors, such as member-managed agriculture and businesses, cooperative purchasing programs, publications, research projects, and artistic and cultural activities.
6-Provide a living context and example for educational demonstration of sustainable community living--socially, spiritually, economically, and environmentally.
