A great work, making this documentary and sharing with us. Thanks
I belive in a world close to the nature and close to each other cultures. This back to earth means that for me.
I start learning / Working this year with diferent techniques on adobe construction, sharing this art with a variety of people and cultures in Portuguese eco farms. With the economy falling, the change in the minds and in the landscape is hapening.
You must be a primitivist...have a friend who is a primitivist. I'm not at all one. I want the internet and buildings, thanks. Any attempt to coerce me to return to primitive society would disqualify you as an anarchist. If this is what you want, I may not coerce you out of it either, or I cease to be an anarchist. Anarchism is a code of ethics concerning non-coercion, it isn't an economic persuasion or ecological opinion. Good luck on convincing mankind to live in primitive shelters.
If the human species as a whole doesn't allow itself to live in harmony with nature, with what sustains it, irrespective of its lifestyle preferences, Mother Nature, if she is unable to absorb the errs of its ways, will 'coerce' it possibly to the point of its extinction.
Any species that needs some kinds of 'convincing' isn't worth its own survival.
very interesting and plan to watch the documentary in full. thanks for posting.
also, if anyone has any suggestions of good books and websites where i can learn more about eco/environmental problems and the future of the earth on it's current path etc., i'd appreciate the suggestions. i'm sure it is a broad question but i am new in my research of the topic and looking for something to really sink my teeth into, so to speak. thanks!
I'm intreaged by Cob as material, the round flowing and involved curves and shapes it can make. But I have to ask... there will always be more people (untill we cannot sustain ourselves, but Im not ready to start killing my brothers and sister ;) )
how can such smallscale although gorgeous living be feasable for everybody, surely we'll run out of space. Don't we need our skyrisers? don't we need our (green!) technology? I can't see going back to basics as our salvation.
Hey I live in Glasgow, a beautiful city in places, the old archetecture is gorgeous! But all the new stuff is so clinical, they are just blocks of apartments put up as cheaply as possible for maximum profit! ugh!
@hithlum It's an abandonment of building codes and the corporate structure that forms them. Building material manufacturers, large contractors, and many unions, push legislation that forces standards on how buildings are constructed; and it works to their advantage. Rammed earth is against code in California even though it better withstands earthquakes, is cheap, sustainable, and has a super high R-value.
...so...what is going to happen to all the nuclear power plants and all the enriched uranium/plutonium we have created when we are no longer able to "maintain" them?
this is my big problem with people like eckhart tolle, and others who say 'everything's gonna be okay if we just "get right"'
how do we keep from decimating All life with all the toxic sh*t we have created?

I don't see how this is anarchist in any way. It just seems like eco-friendly architecture to me.

So are you an anarcho-primitivist?
