Whilst Geoff was in Vietnam he discovered a 300 year old Food Forest built on 2 acres of land and still functioning well in the same family 28 generations later.

  • did you know Americans lost Vietnam war. yes i only know this now. i'm not a terrorist, so don't you be looking at my internet activity Mr. America.

  • are the deers and cows kept inside in the dark? if so why does something so right have something so wrong going on in it then

  • @vanRijn64 - what's wrong with existing renewables

  • :D the end there is so great, last like 30 seconds, truly is a way better way of living, and is the truth

  • @c0unterph0bia :D HAHA HECK YEAH. document and share what you do to, 4 acres is COMPLETELY enough to feed yourself and a small family.

  • I like how there is a hit-and-run in the background as he says "happy accident" at about 45 .. @0:44

  • My property is four acres of bullshit pain in the ass lawn and shrubbery. You've truly inspired me to change my yard into something useful, sustainable, productive, and low maintenance...

  • Awesome @LaNaDaWarjack this is a incredible place

  • @dlcpereira I can agree on green energy. I would venture that nuclear power is the way to go given current technology (heavily regulated of course) but I have a feeling you would rule that out on principal. Certainly if we invest in high energy, weather independent, green energy (such as the elusive nuclear fusion) we may have something that is 'green' AND realistic. Of course, that will require R&D (Possibly $trillions of it) but I support that.

  • @vanRijn64 the city.. the problem is he pollution, food would be contaminated, we need green energy
