Eco-Ecuador Works
In February 1999 Peter Berg was invited to Bahia. While he was there he
wrote Dispatches and when he returned in August, he wrote a Report
about the city and its progress toward becoming an eco-city. Between his
two visits, Peter received a letter from Patricio Tamariz updating him on
eco-city activities. Planet
Drum collaborated in discussions with other local groups and the
City of Bahia de Caraquez to produce a By-Law declaring an Eco-City this
year. It is reproduced here as a model that other municipalities may use.

The Ecuadorian coastal city of Bahia de Caraquez has committed itself through
law to become ecological and sustainable. Planet Drum Foundation in San
Francisco, California helped create community awareness of issues there at a
celebration announcing the Ecological City Declaration in January 1999.
Since then, Planet Drum has established a field office and carried out a major
bioregional project to revegetate a city barrio with native trees for erosion
control against future mudslides and to create an urban "wild
corridor." We are currently working
on additional revegetation of hillsides, water supply and purity,
household ecology education, biological sewage treatment, alternative energy,
and others.
You are invited to assist or visit these projects. If you
are interested in doing so, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can
communicate further about details. Email us
or phone us at (415)285-6556, or fax at (415)285-6563.
