Island Life
It seems that it is cool to care.
We've all known for years that we should probably be more eco-friendly, but the idea of ethical living has been frankly dull. After all who wants to eat mung-bean salads and wear horrible sandals?
However, we are now prepared to eat organic/local/reared and wear ethically manufactured clobber. Surfing this zeitgeist is a new project by two British entrepreneurs to create a sustainable eco-community on an island in Fiji. Tribewanted is looking for 5000 international participants to make up a tribe that will exist on-line and will make tribal decisions by voting through the online community at tribewanted.com.
100 members a time can also settle on Vorovoro, which has been renamed 'Adventure Island', but the length of your stay depends on your membership. Nomads get 1 year's membership and 7 nights on the island for £120; Hunters are members for 2 years and can stay for 14 nights for £240; and Warriors are member for 3 years and pay £360 to stay for 21 nights.
