Purpose

Community:

I’m building this company not just for myself, but for everyone who uses it. EcoCommunity exists to bring people together — creators, buyers, supporters, and anyone who believes in something better. I want this platform to be a place where we support one another, where artists can grow, and where buyers feel connected to the people behind the work. Every purchase includes a native seed packet because I believe that when we share something meaningful, even small actions can bring us closer together. A real community is built through the things we do together — and the more we grow, the stronger we become.

Jobs:

EcoCommunity isn’t just a marketplace — it’s the beginning of something bigger. My goal is to use this platform to create meaningful, stable jobs for people in the community. As EcoCommunity grows, I want to hire web developers, designers, and support roles to help improve the platform and take it to the next level. I also want to create opportunities for college graduates, especially those struggling with rising unemployment rates. Too many talented people finish school and can’t find a job that values them. EcoCommunity can change that by offering roles that give young people experience, stability, and a chance to build a better future. This marketplace is more than a business — it’s a way to support people, open doors, and build real opportunity for those who need it most.

Environment:

I’m giving out free seed packets — native to each buyer’s region — to fight back against the destruction of ecosystems in our cities. Every day I walk around my city and notice something: the “wildlife” around us is mostly artificial. Grass lawns, decorative plants, non-native species. Nature has been pushed out. EcoCommunity’s seed packets are a small step toward restoring what was lost. By planting native seeds, we support pollinators, rebuild habitats, and help nature return to the spaces where we live. This platform is as much about healing the environment as it is about supporting creators.

Philosophy

History

When I look at history, I notice a pattern: as societies grow, the distribution of wealth often becomes concentrated into a tiny space. Opportunities shrink, resources become harder to access, and the foundation of the community weakens. I want EcoCommunity to move in the opposite direction — to create a system where value circulates, where support reaches everyone, and where we learn from the past so we don’t fall into the same trap.

Nature

Nature shows us what real balance looks like. In a forest, resources flow evenly through the entire ecosystem. Nutrients move through the soil, water moves through the roots, and every plant gives and receives. Nothing is hoarded, and nothing is ignored. That balance is why forests thrive for eons. EcoCommunity follows that same principle: when support moves through the whole community instead of pooling at the top, everything becomes stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

Community Distribution Fund (CDF)

This is why the Community Distribution Fund exists. 10% of all marketplace revenue goes directly into the CDF, and its balance and every transaction will be publicly displayed on a transparency page. The CDF will grow up to 15% as revenue grows, but founding sellers will keep the low fees permanently. I will also contribute money every month from my full-time job, and anyone in the community is welcome to contribute as well. As creators grow, the CDF grows with them — helping pay for materials, tools, production support, and even providing access to producers, assistants, or creative help based on their sales. Instead of concentrating success at the top, the CDF redistributes it back into the people who create the value. When creators thrive, the community thrives.

Creative Arts & Revenue Model

The creative arts section of EcoCommunity isn’t designed for profit — it’s designed for the human soul. Like the Renaissance, creativity should express meaning, spirit, imagination, and connection. Art, comics, music, and writing are meant to be shared, not exploited. That’s why I will highlight creators with daily updated features, including the Top 10 Best and Top 10 New artists in every category. The main source of revenue for EcoCommunity will come from handmade products, not from the creative expression of artists. Creativity should bring us together, inspire us, and remind us what it means to be human — and EcoCommunity is here to protect that.

Vision

Build a Team for the Future

One of my main goals is to grow EcoCommunity into a real company run by a strong, talented team. I want to hire recent college graduates — especially those struggling to find their first job — and give them real opportunities in web development, design, operations, community management, and creative roles. A few experienced seniors will guide them and help them build skills, confidence, and stability. EcoCommunity is meant to create openings, not barriers.

Create Eco Villages and Fight Homelessness

My second goal is to rebuild abandoned homes and empty properties into eco villages. These villages will give people experiencing homelessness a stable place to restart their lives. I want to hire recent psychology and social work graduates to support them directly, helping residents heal, find direction, and move forward with dignity. After receiving support, residents can work in the village — keeping it clean, protecting the community, and contributing to the environment. This turns forgotten spaces into living, supportive communities.

Build Walkable Eco Cities

My third goal is to develop walkable city areas around the eco villages. These will be places designed for people, not cars: green walkways, safe paths, community gardens, and shared public spaces. I want to create environments where nature is part of everyday life, where local businesses can grow, and where people feel connected instead of isolated. This is a step toward a future where community and nature exist side by side.

Create More Opportunities and Jobs

My fourth goal is to expand EcoCommunity into many other types of jobs. As the marketplace grows, I want to build warehouses and fulfillment centers specifically for handmade products — spaces that create stable employment and support the rising demand for physical goods. These roles will handle storage, packaging, shipping, and operations, giving more people steady work and a place in the community. By building jobs around handmade products, EcoCommunity can grow financially while supporting more lives.
