EcoNaturism Or Ecological Naturism, is a type of naturism that seeks to focus on the environmental element of the classic definition of  naturism “living in harmony with nature”. Econaturism is a lifestyle that combines the principles of environmentalism and naturism. Econaturists believe that it is possible to live in harmony with nature while also being comfortable in their own skin. They sometimes live in small, sustainable communities and practice sustainable agriculture. Econaturists tend to be very active in environmental activism.

Participants in the Lebensreform or life reform movement throughout Europe adopted ecologically friendly practices in addition to social nudity. In the 1920’s Anarcho-naturists in Spain, France and Britain were also pioneering practitioners of  econaturism. ¹Green Anarchism, Eco-Anarchism, and Anarcho-Naturism?
