      By dominating do you mean becoming victims of it? For every way we damage the environment the damage is building up to come back to us in damaging ways through climate change.

    People have been deluded into thinking an “advanced society” looks like: flying cars and skyscrapers with robots and computers that do everything. But that’s not it at all!!!! This place is what an “advanced society” looks like!!! Living with and in nature!!!! Not “conquering” it and destroying everything!! I absolutely love this amazing and magical place they have created!!! If the whole world lived this way our world would be a paradise!!!

      Yes, I didn't understand why there wasn't a lot of dialogue between the camera people/persons and the people of this place... in other episodes, when it's about humans this-and-that, they go on-and-on about the smallest things... and in this one, where there seemed many interesting things to discuss and understand, nothing much was said.

      I found a great Indian video about a family that moved from the city to an overfarmed area where locals were struggling with drought/water table lowering etc. This urban family used Permaculture principles to restore their degraded block and quickly made it so productive (three years i think) that all their neighbours wanted to learn about Permaculture too. Its a great video, should be easy to find.. There are online courses i think, if you can't travel to learn about how to do it.

    That was fantastic. That aspect called Freeganism is interesting and it has to be acknowledged that it takes some special co-operation from supermarkets to facilitate it. Even though it is a win win situation there is a history of antagonism from commercial operators and it's great to see that ridiculous 'waste' being put to good use. Keep up the amazing work!

    • @pipfox7834
      @pipfox7834 Рік тому +1

      yes, some places i guess have very strict rules relating to ''food hygeine'' or what have youl. Where we are in southern Australia, in the cities most supermarkets are very aware that the ''wastage'' can be safely repurposed and are willing to help out. Our universities also work with primary producers to encourage them to re-badge non perfect fresh produce (apples, pears, carrots etc) that might be slightly the wrong shape or size, and resell it separately in bulk bags for the bargain bins. Its a win win, as the budget conscious shopper gets a cheaper deal and the produce is not just ploughed back into the ground or dumped. Our government here is doing a lot to reduce waste that way....thankfully.

      i'm noticing more and more of these types of communities springing up in various countries, its great to see. Ever since Permaculture practices have really spread around the world, i see transformative communities springing up also, If you are wishing to be involved, there are Permaculture courses even online nowadays - and probably some group near you doing either this or learning to build with straw bale or adobe, you name it...(create a house that doesn't need fossil fuels to heat or cool it). If i was young i would be out there looking for what's happening near me, or that i could easily travel to so i could help out. Good luck to all!

    For water, all they need is to take water from the ocean, then using the sunshine and some recycled panes of glass to create a type of greenhouse where the water is heated by the sun and the evaporated water collects on the glass which is angled down so the condensation trickles down into a catchment trough, like a plastic pipe cut in half, and the water travels along that into a water storage tank. The leftover salt can be collected and used or even sold as sea salt, if they use a Food Safe system of making it in stainless steel trays or whatever is required it could be packaged as Tenerife Sea Salt, "Buy this salt to help support the animal sanctuary."
