One thing we can do is use less energy for the costs to eco, human, and animal health are too high - and expensive, too. Turn off water and lights that aren't needed, walk rather than drive when possible, use more public transportation, use more efficient light bulbs, grow your own chem-free veggies, flush toilets less, stop using paper towels and napkins, etc. Any ideas - post 'em!
So what's the hold up in the US? We should do this too. Rural people with less education have improved things, while pampered people use up old-style energies that poison air, soil, and water. This solar tech is doable and healthier. I saw a TED where a young man from a rural African village made a wind tower and hooked it up to his family's home. Wow!
Mathew Muthuplackal Dear Mr.B.Roy, Wonderful movement, congras.I,am Fr.Mathew from Solar Alternatives from Patna who made Scheffler cookers for you. But I saw the photo of some other person in your presentation.Not for any publicity,just a correction.Best wishes and Happy New year.
Dear Mr Roy,
I saw this comment on Facebook. I am posting it here. Great work, keep it up
@FractalHolon What threatens you so much about people awakening to the ongoing program of genocide against the white race? You want to call me crazy for sounding an alert to other white people?
@SAVETHECHILDREN6592 And "White pride" is codeward for inbreddumbfuckingidiot. Take a look at the video you spammer, you are clearly off-topic so gtfo.
Those who dislike this are asleep. They belong to the lowest consciousness group of existence. They may be highly intelligent people but have no wisdom and compassion.
I agree with aerobique.. NOMADdaf reminds me of a man I met yesterday: I said to him, "I have run into someone who has found a cure for HIV and we have a case series study of 20 people." His reply: Not good enough. You need a double-blind study or it's no use. But it's working. A double-blind study will cost the earth. No answer because he didn't want to say, "Well, that's too bad!" I hope the university we apply to for research will accept our evidence, anyway.
total rubbish. The only thing worth having in this video were the modern things like solar panels which were made by educated people. All of this helped no one. Go talk to the geneticists that have doubled food production. They have done great things. What has he done other than renamed uneducated as educated.
@NOMADdaf yeah yeah doubled the production lower prices higher yield for farmers and no diseases in following generations ? please cite proper instances
@freedomformind not sure what that is supposed to mean, but if I have to explain to you without currant food production technology the world would have been short of food a decade ago.Why do you think we have so much to send them? Why do you think Russia buys so much from us? If I have to explain it you wouldn't understand the explanation any way.
This brought tears to my eyes! Why, oh why, can't we have someone like this man in Pakistan? Here we are two neighbours, the very same people, the one racing on to the stars and the other wallowing on the rubbish heap of an anti-progress religion.
As usual too many spectators too cowardly to live their lives but brave enough to stand on the sidelines and trash the doers and achievers of the world. This man has done great work. his message to ask people and listen to find out how you can resolve their problems is something that bleeding heart wealthy goodie two shoes people can well learn from..as for you who have so much to criticise about this man and his work, how about you get off your bottom and do something worthwhile with your life?
It is an amazing odyssey of Mr Bunker Roy who has had the courage to connect with Bharat first, and then, has focused the talent and the basics of human aspirations. These attributes which are border-less, have there after been taken to the most disadvantaged across state and international borders. A process of crystallization and cross pollination! Congrats!
If only he wasn't being so deeply misandrist. But even with this big lazy flaw of arbitrarily excluding men I still applaud what this movement has accomplished.
@ooooneeee I don;t think he was being misandrist. He made some jokes which I don't think should be taken to seriously and said the men didn't want to work there because they all wanted to go to the city for better jobs.
@ooooneeee You have no idea how much male dominated the rural societies in India are. Sex ratio in India is so much screwed up due to female feticide that many Islamic countries fare better. He does it because he understands sees the society for what it is and not from an outsider's point of view. The only way third world nations can get rid of their poverty is via women's deep involvement in the process, men are involved anyways.
@prabhatpalpal what an idiotic comment .... women are respected in the Indian society.. even in villages.. the problem is people dont get a chance to show their talents...
The self-satisfied "I'm more humble than thou art" smugness of this guy is unbearable. Pandering to white-guilt, glorifying provincial poverty, and gloating over sexist misandry is not worthy of the revolting gushing I see in the comments to this video.
@ddunniii I agree to some extent about the smugness. But that doesn't take away from his sacrifices and achievements. I personally detest worshiping someone and gushing at their achievements, so I understand your discomfort. But looking at his work objectively, one has to give it to him for what he has pulled off.
@buzzin1975 Yeah, every single white person in the world is responsible for the poverty everywhere else. It has nothing to do with agriculture and a ton other factors or anything.
@AsifIcarebear3 Yup, they're responsible. India was self-sufficient for 70,000 years, and all that changed after Whitey British came and stole everything. Anything to add?
@buzzin1975 So by the same token, the white people in the USA are all personally responsible for the slavery of the Africans back in the day, yeah? And we should blame all the Germans for killing those jews. No, not unless you're a complete fucking idiot. That was all done by different people. Thus, you cannot say "They're the ones responsbiel for the poverty that this guy is trying to alleviate." because it's wrong. End of discussion.
@AsifIcarebear3 Yup, all the white shits in America are responsible for slavery, the Germans are all fucking Nazis, and the Spanish are all genocidal. Unless you think Indians are more culpable? Get real fucker. How do you think the world ended up this way? You think global climate change is the work of aborigines and indigenous peoples? You stupid white fuck.
@leonidasx666 I love how you think you're smart because you can regurgitate an ancient quote, acting as if you're the only one who thought of that analogy.
@AsifIcarebear3 "acting as if you're the only one who thought of that analogy"... what? It was only a comment.
Please don't fall into 'youtube hate', there's already a lot of it going around... I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought about this quote. And I'm sure there are many others who thought the same way after seing this talk... I just wrote it.
@dudepal187 lol! now that you mention it, yeah, it is kind of like that movie :) Well, not exactly, but one basic idea. Loved that movie, and love this talk :)
what an amazing concept! to be certified as a professional by the services that you can provide by and to your community and buildings that are built to last based on what the land provides and finally an education that is useful according to what is needed. I can't think of a better way of what and how it was meant to be.
kind of speechless. fucked up my school over here, i wish i had the balls to drop everything here, leave with the clothes on my back and go leanr there..
hahahah he would be a really realy gud comedian. not that what he's saying is funny. but his voice, is perfect for it, the tone. and the jokes he did make were hilarious :D
Cool school, I like the decentralized and bottom-up approach. Only thing I dislike is indoctrinating them with the tyranny of the majority from such young ages.
this is perfect. utilizing the talent and the skills of the common people, to better the community instead of forcing them to first get certificates and other bureaucratic red tape.
Brilliant! YIKES!?! ...suddenly I found myself standing and clapping too (spontaneous~yes ...embarrassed~a bit ...thankfully I'm by myself)
we do indeed have all of our solutions right in front of us if we would just work together ...there are very wise people everywhere sharing their knowledge freely
THis is a dentist: Iliterate. Well wha kind of a stupid thing is it that you can go to this college and don't learn to read and write?!?
The basic idea that poor people have talent to offer is a good one but wouldn't it be better if they also learned to read? Not being able to read makes it very hard to leave a community.
@reafdaw01 I also think that literacy is important. But I think they don't need to and won't leave their community. You heard the speaker said men are untrainable because they always want to leave the community, but on the contrary, women stay (or they are forced to stay because of social custom) and develop self-reliant local community. He also mentioned that the solution is from the within, people on the ground, and not from the outside.
@SunE6792 You make a lot of good points. I just think this hints that maybe these schools aren't all perfect. It sounds to me like there is a clear ideologie there, clear ideas about the nature of men and women and their place in society. Maybe this is not so but I remain skeptical. The thought of grandmothers explaining to officials and engieneers how to instal solar instalations is epic though.
@SunE6792 I thought that odd also. While the college no doubt improves the lives of the people, being illiterate does keep them in their place. Literacy is power.
@GameDoctor21 I am not sure how they really live. Yet what do you mean by improving their village life? If they have food and water, housing, and solar energy, they can probably lead a self-reliant life. And also if they rediscover their abilities and talents and don't always think only those who have "certificate" are smart people, they may thrive on their own.
What an amazing concept, i really think the future of human civilization depends on the people united as a whole, not a monetary system nor a political reform. All it takes is for the people to love one another to respect and care for everybody to properly progress in a united world society..
For me this shows the real power of what people can do, we are beautiful intelligent people and working together we can do things we cant even imagine.
This is amazing, too much emphasis is being put on what degree someone has and from where. This seems like a much better system it looks like it takes hard work, but, it allows a person to create and take chances and ultimately produces results. These people look happy, they are living their lives and doing something real to better our world
Nobody is entitled to more than $100 month. You come for money? forget it. You come for work & challenge? with pleasure. How about Obama, who seems to be running out of IDEAS, forgets about greed for a moment and listens to someone who knows the only way to make humanity survive. If we don't rise up against the system that's controlling us, we will lose and die
@jASTDK I think you missed the principle in what I said (ie you missed the whole point entirely). Then you still called me an idiot. Talk about irony being unleashed via hypocrisy in its purest form. You should really hypothesize/reason through your thoughts in your own mind before just opening your mouth to lash out and criticize someone else about something you're either clearly clueless about (and probably think you know too much about). Prove how I'm the idiot, or you're the idiot, frankly.
Yeah, my exact thoughts. Unless it means some sort of a real well driller in that funky Indian English. And what the fuck is a bonesetter? Did he say bonesetter?
@d3st88 although your comment has been flagged as spam I'll overlook the language and answer (just in case you were being sincere) He did say "bonesetter" A bonesetter in an individual that is skilled in resetting bones after a break has occurred. The skill includes physical techniques combined with herbal knowledge.
one botanical example is the plant 'Comfrey' which is commonly known in some cultures as 'knitbone'
GOD BLESS YOU

So are you trying to defame me by using the label "WHITEPRIDE?"
Where did that come from? Are you a political correctness officer or something?
I say when your own group is threatened, defend your own group before another. As it is said, charity begins at home.
To a liberal, even using the word WHITE creates a torrent of rage. I see it as a genocidal rage, irrational and dangerous to other humans.
I am talking about white survival and you are defaming me.

this is perfect. utilizing the talent and the skills of the common people, to better the community instead of forcing them to first get certificates and other bureaucratic red tape.

THis is a dentist: Iliterate. Well wha kind of a stupid thing is it that you can go to this college and don't learn to read and write?!?
The basic idea that poor people have talent to offer is a good one but wouldn't it be better if they also learned to read? Not being able to read makes it very hard to leave a community.
reafdaw01 4 months ago
@reafdaw01 I also think that literacy is important. But I think they don't need to and won't leave their community. You heard the speaker said men are untrainable because they always want to leave the community, but on the contrary, women stay (or they are forced to stay because of social custom) and develop self-reliant local community. He also mentioned that the solution is from the within, people on the ground, and not from the outside.

@SunE6792 You make a lot of good points. I just think this hints that maybe these schools aren't all perfect. It sounds to me like there is a clear ideologie there, clear ideas about the nature of men and women and their place in society. Maybe this is not so but I remain skeptical. The thought of grandmothers explaining to officials and engieneers how to instal solar instalations is epic though.
reafdaw01 4 months ago
@SunE6792 I thought that odd also. While the college no doubt improves the lives of the people, being illiterate does keep them in their place. Literacy is power.

@GameDoctor21 I am not sure how they really live. Yet what do you mean by improving their village life? If they have food and water, housing, and solar energy, they can probably lead a self-reliant life. And also if they rediscover their abilities and talents and don't always think only those who have "certificate" are smart people, they may thrive on their own.

What an amazing concept, i really think the future of human civilization depends on the people united as a whole, not a monetary system nor a political reform. All it takes is for the people to love one another to respect and care for everybody to properly progress in a united world society..
For me this shows the real power of what people can do, we are beautiful intelligent people and working together we can do things we cant even imagine.

This is amazing, too much emphasis is being put on what degree someone has and from where. This seems like a much better system it looks like it takes hard work, but, it allows a person to create and take chances and ultimately produces results. These people look happy, they are living their lives and doing something real to better our world

Nobody is entitled to more than $100 month. You come for money? forget it. You come for work & challenge? with pleasure. How about Obama, who seems to be running out of IDEAS, forgets about greed for a moment and listens to someone who knows the only way to make humanity survive. If we don't rise up against the system that's controlling us, we will lose and die

@jASTDK I think you missed the principle in what I said (ie you missed the whole point entirely). Then you still called me an idiot. Talk about irony being unleashed via hypocrisy in its purest form. You should really hypothesize/reason through your thoughts in your own mind before just opening your mouth to lash out and criticize someone else about something you're either clearly clueless about (and probably think you know too much about). Prove how I'm the idiot, or you're the idiot, frankly.

Yeah, my exact thoughts. Unless it means some sort of a real well driller in that funky Indian English. And what the fuck is a bonesetter? Did he say bonesetter?
d3st88 4 months ago
@d3st88 although your comment has been flagged as spam I'll overlook the language and answer (just in case you were being sincere) He did say "bonesetter" A bonesetter in an individual that is skilled in resetting bones after a break has occurred. The skill includes physical techniques combined with herbal knowledge.
one botanical example is the plant 'Comfrey' which is commonly known in some cultures as 'knitbone'
hope this has been helpful
