Robert Gilman - The Eco-village Challenge Given these challenges, it should be no surprise that as far as we have been able to discover, there are as yet no communities that fully express the eco-village ideal.

Eco challenge for homes builders To back housing associations and private developers challenged to meet these standards, Sustainable Homes has developed the Eco-Homes Support Programme on behalf of the Housing Corporation.

Eco-Challenge Fiji 2002 Working with Eco brought me closer to places and people I may never have met, and to some of the most remote yet breaktaking regions on this earth. Wading across the Navua River, snorkelling off the shores of Wayasewa Island, drinking kava with the villagers of Navala, driving around busy Nadi town, and pushing a muddy van stuck enroute to the remote Savioune Falls are just a few of the experiences that will enrich my life forever. www.lemurworks.com /lola/html/ecofiji2002.htm   (241 words)

Eco-Challenge We're now seeing trailers for the upcoming Discover Challenge Adventure Race, which is apparently their attempt to get back the viewers they lost when the Eco-Challenge moved away. For those of us who have to watch the race on TV, the biggest change was that the Discovery Challenge no longer carried the Eco-Challenge, but instead the coverage was provided by the USA Networks.

The 4x4 Eco Challenge Having spent two weeks on the 4x4 Eco Challenge I would now like to congratulate the organizers and sponsors that made it possible, and salute you on a true 'eco' challenge. Five scientists (well actually four scientists and myself, a conservationist) were invited along to give the 'eco' some validity, and had two tasks - firstly to investigate the possibilities for further research on various taxa in previously unstudied areas, and secondly to share our knowledge with the participants and test their interest in the environment. This event is not only spectacular regarding the logistics of so many vehicles and so many people, which provide a good showcase for the sponsors of the event, but it has the capacity to educate all 4x4 drivers out there via the media coverage of the event. www.4x4ecochallenge.com /nature.htm   (2378 words)

Going to Extremes in the Eco-challenge The 1996 challenge required five-member teams, but this year's asks for four-member teams and, unlike past Eco-challenges, does not provide support staff for carrying supplies and other necessities. And although they train on the placid waters and sun-soaked, palm-lined flatlands of Key Biscayne, four South Floridians are preparing to take the challenge this August through 300 miles of the Australian outback. However, only 14 teams finished, creating a logistical nightmare for rescue crews and convincing this year's organizers to make it an invitation-only competition for experienced extreme sportsmen. www.key-biscayne.com /islander/alt/aext.htm   (1463 words)

Though competitors were in agreement about the increased challenge of this year’s course, teams echoed high praise about the setting, scenery and overall course approach in Fiji.
