Part 5/10:
The individualism that permeates American culture poses a challenge to Joe's dreams of creating a thriving ecovillage. Acknowledging the fragmentation of small communities compared to the more communal societies he witnessed in Borneo, he ponders how modernity's lure can diminish a sense of kinship among people. He believes that successful communal living requires a shared vision and a commitment to goals beyond monetary gains.
Joe’s experiences lead him to highlight the importance of community support systems. He yearns for people who are not only sojourners on his land but willing to embrace a lifestyle heavily rooted in ecological harmony. The vision extends to hosting educational programs centered on sustainable living, nurturing the next generation of eco-lovers and herbalists.
