Two of the foundations our community business model is based on are Eco-Tourism & EcoFeminism. Depending on their education and experience, interns can work our these idealistic yet practical web projects. These sites have a global reach. One of our most important eco-feminist websites offers natural reproductive choice and information. It has been accessed by over 1 million women around the world.
