very hot and whiskey barrel hard wood is great. right now the water it is being heated by. and as the weather gets richer. inside the whiskey barrel everything is just as simple and ecologically pure as it is outside as a village veteran craig is in charge of several ecological projects we live very simply we still live quite simply but it was not difficult really wonderful because we were. not working for money. doing everything just for the collective. nice climate nice people we're not trying to create something alternative we're trying to demonstrate a different style of living and we see. so we are almost

a little town. one of the biggest cities in europe concrete and glass. up in the capital the brand new financial center housing both russian and foreign firms. and with. i think it's ok on the how. shall we draw conclusions regarding chile i mean school should we tie that in with kazakhstan. this workspace is on the top floor of one of moscow's skyscrapers but the head of the firm with this prestigious office space doesn't care much about the view from his desk he's done in sterling golf the man considered to be russia's first millionaire in the early one nine hundred ninety s. he also set up the first russian commodity exchange but things took an unexpected turn seventy years ago when his business went bust sterling of himself also went

this small facility purified water used here bacteria microorganisms purify it in several phases hey you can see the bubbles in the water and the condition is the. key and by the end of the process. after this process in which. we come to the car if you look into the water. and this is the final tank cleaning from this point the water goes underground. which runs it up the wrong way. the end result is crystal clear. in the pond you can see with maybe there.
