"An ecovillage is a human scale, full-featured settlement which integrates human activities harmlessly into the natural environment, supports healthy development and can be continued into the indefinite future."
-- Robert Gilman
"All communities require sustainable ways to make a living. Economic sustainability involves: Small-scale business, crafts, and services that create maximum diversity of economic base and a rich ecology of financial, income and job opportunities. Possibilities include cottage industries, local services, education, printing and publishing, trading, small-scale manufacturing, consulting, shops and cooperatives."
-- Christine Connelly, Sustainable Communities: Lessons from Aspiring Eco-Villages
"The fourth of John Talbott’s criteria is the need for cultural sustainability: Satisfying our need as human beings to be creative and expressive; to learn, grow, teach and be; to have a diverse, interesting, stimulating and exciting social environment and range of experiences available."
-- Christine Connelly, Sustainable Communities: Lessons from Aspiring Eco-Villages
"Aspects of cultural sustainability include performing and creative arts, job diversity, physical recreation, personal growth and skill development, rituals and celebrations, social diversity and cultural events, and access to communication technologies."

Emanata (singular emanatum) -- perceptible manifestations of a superpower emerging from a person or super-gizmo, literally "things that emanate." This is the umbrella term, and there are various subtypes. Some of the nomenclature overlaps with terms used in graphic art to describe symbolic parts of a drawing. Emanata often include such things as sounds, visual distortions (similar to heat waves), or sparkles. Less common are physical emanata such as the splashes of color left by some melting teleporters; liquid emanata are called plewds. Gusts of wind can be either emanata generated from scratch or disturbances of extant atmosphere(s) caused by superpower use; these are called whiffits, and the commonly associated clouds of dust are briffits.
Emanata – In the sixth panel of Figure 2.1.4a there are little lines coming out of the dart guns that indicate action and movement. Such lines are known as ‘emanata’ and are typical of comics as a medium. When analysing comics, you may see question marks above a characters head, tear drops flying from eyes or straight lines trailing behind running characters. Besides labelling such examples of emanata in your textual analysis of comics, you must also analyse the effect of its inclusion. In Figure 2.1.4a, emanata is used to indicate that Calvin and Hobbes shoot each other quickly and simultaneously, leaving both each other and the reader confused as to who was hit first.
A garage apartment maximizes use of footprint by stacking residential space over vehicle storage: "build up, not out."
Strawberry Tower
Northwest Coast Strawberries
Cascade Woody is a landrace strawberry cultivar produced by crossbreeding some of the least-worst commercial cultivars (like Tristar and Tribute) with the wood strawberry (Fragaria vesca) that grows wild in the Pacific Northwest. The result is a well-adapted plant with good durability and disease resistance that bears a big spring crop followed by slower production through summer. Fruit averages about marble size with intense flavor.

A broomstick skirt has a distinctive crinkled texture from twisting it while damp so it dries with many tiny folds. A birthday suit is slang for nudity. Put the two together and you have a cute term for senior nudity.
A fishing spear typically has several prongs, which may be smooth or barbed. With a smooth spear, you pin the fish to the bottom and reach down to get it. With a barbed spear, you can lift the fish out because the barbs will hold it. There are many different styles of fishing spear around the world, among the many ways to catch fish.
