Official repository of the ecobricks.org website by the Global Ecobrick Alliance.

About This Repository

This repository contains the full-stack source code for:

https://ecobricks.org

The site is entirely hand-coded using:

  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

We have intentionally built and maintained our own stack since 2011 in order to embody regenerative principles directly in our digital infrastructure.

We deploy frequent updates from this repository, often daily.

Our Philosophy

Ecobricks.org is not built for venture scaling, ad-tech optimization, or extraction.

It is built as:

  • A regenerative commons
  • An educational platform
  • A planetary collaboration space
  • A long-term ecological knowledge archive

We operate without corporate, government, or venture sponsorship.
Our revenue comes from ecological services and educational programs.

March 2025 Code Reorganization
