Earth House

We believe the current ecological crisis threatening the stability of our environment today is directly related to deep-seated social problems, and that the arena in which our planet’s future will be decided is undoubtedly a social one.  Therefore, our community is created with the explicit intent of challenging traditional social structures and replacing them with new, creative and egalitarian alternatives.  We strive to commit ourselves to a community based on love, peace, sustainability, cooperative communalism, and human values as opposed to one based on concern for material goods.  Earth House is created as a safe, open, and respectful space to connect political action with the culture and philosophy of environmentalism through a diversity of approaches.  We aim to espouse the values and principles of social ecology, deep ecology, and eco-feminism as well as support each other in our experimentation and education with regards to environmentalism; to learn, to teach, to inspire, and to act as a resource for these issues on campus.  Earth House seeks to serve as an example of these ideals for Wesleyan and the greater community.  We strive to achieve sustainability in all realms of life and practice an environmentally conscious lifestyle.  By operating as a model of ecological living, and by being mindful of our impact on the natural world - namely through food, water, energy usage, and waste - we hope to demonstrate that a different world is possible.  Above all else, Earth House exists to honor and celebrate the interdependence between humanity and the natural world.
