Sustainable Restaurants TED.com

I posted this in the main chat forum also.
Once you realize that every beings purpose in life is to learn, it becomes easier to forgive them for their mistakes.

The future doesn’t exist. The only time we can be peaceful is now, because now is all that exists.

This guys is taking his ideas and just doing it.

as an architect the simple techniques he is doing make sense.

the communal aspects i very much like. i feel this is really a very high point. the commitment to the local farmers is how communities can easily work.
costs are often far less too. the internet can make this work too.
transport of food is still an issue though if they are to far away.

This kind of reminds me of a story.
I remember a few Polish "Mountian men" builders i employed for building projects in Europe.

they living in forest areas and built many houses by using the wood in their forest and using their nearby saw mills to process the wood. Its works very well and is free.

because of their skills they could make almost anything. Its quite amazing.

SO a high percentage of the communities they build were closed loop in temrs of energy and the farming was the same.

Their standard of living is very high. They have no debt and if they need things to they can make it or buy it in exchange for things they make.

The the word here is "evolved". this was how they did things and learned things.
Which is in the video.

Personally i believe building don't have to be complicated at all. Especially once you remove your "programmed constructs of how a building is meant to look.
We have a huge amount of subconscious programming about this.
Once you see the constraints you have to work with its become very easy to design a building and community in stages to match what you have to work with.
