findhorn from around the world during the one nine hundred seventy s. the community grew from twenty to one hundred fifty members. as we come through this landscape here we start to move into what we call a poem a culture a garden. garden is the same thing as co-creating with nature working with nature one of the reasons why i came. because of meditation spiritual progress but also working with nature. gibson was one of the first settlers. he's lived. his house is one of the eco village is an attraction it's made from whiskey barrels we were looking for would particularly. which is very hot and whiskey barrel wood the hard wood is great.

right now the water to speak. and that's the way to get. inside the whiskey barrel everything is just as simple and ecologically pure as it is outside as a village venture and craig is in charge of several ecological projects we live very simply we still live quite simply but it was not difficult was 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 just demonstrate a different style of living and we see ourselves more. so we are almost a little town. moscow one of the biggest cities

in europe concrete and glass towers are cropping 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 has done in stellar 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 seven years ago when his business went bust sterling of himself also went bankrupt when he was forced to sell off his apartment he took an extreme measure and resolved to leave moscow for

a place without central heating running water or electricity. i said to my wife i lost my job and money and we could no longer own our apartment and we had to go somewhere else immediately so that there would be. my daily routine is like this i get up at six in the morning to tend the cattle then i have the right first and go to moscow my eldest son stays behind to look after the household i was at the big bad city to formulate anti-crisis measures and mechanisms. of the start of the financial meltdown was asked to head a private and secret service center but even after moving into his huge office in moscow he never even toyed with the idea of returning to the capital permanently.

countryside. in the evening maxime's wife and their daughter go to what is locally known as the common home tonight is indian dances night. that. is a newcomer to come check she teaches the inhabitants indian dancing and tells them about the country's culture. most local residents have volunteered jobs be a teaching. children school children. is that when they came here for the first time people asked me to tell them about indian dances and demonstrate some of them since it is the us so a good deal of interest on the pontiff local residents and they even asked me to teach them and i greet. indian songs bring another day at cover track to

a close like other days this one's been filled with many activities from work in the vegetable gardens to learning new skills. people here go to bed early there are no traffic jams supermarket queues all t.v. sets but they have to rise early to get the day's chores completed. cultures that so much always about the feelings i do for michael moore give a real undergraduate school we did so in a relatively short amount of time latin america has transformed itself both politically and economically look in the. forty two thousand americans die each year car accidents only a thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themselves cancer in all its forms kills five hundred sixty thousand of us here part disease is even more devastating it kills over eight hundred seventy thousand

a sold in this shop. phoenix is the only shop in the settlement its items are targeted mostly at visits and guests but settlers also come and dine here karen bowles dropped in to buy fresh squashes. but instead of paying in pounds she uses the local currency called the eco the exchange rate stays the same one eco equals one pound it was seventy years ago to support local businesses. while the local eco in order to keep the money circulating within this community and also in the village so it means that money doesn't leak out into other places it keeps circulating which is good for the. the people in findhorn a proud of their recycling system the water is purified with a special device called the living machine from here it starts to flow underground

in the pond you can see with maybe they're. generally speaking a very simple principle. green technology is used. to maintain that people must not take from nature than she can. for the chemical. used whenever possible. and. pride we just wanted to have as many renewable features as possible so that you could see them you know. turbines complement solar panels or the wood stove or whatever else electricity generated in this way is more expensive but willing to pay because they know computers are powered ecologically. this was

a community wind project we also wanted to involve the community and after they were wrecked we had groups of young community artists and school children decorate all three turbans and this was a school project about the ecological footprints. it's daybreak in the russian. jacques. revisits the. indian the day before but today she is the teacher and she's taking a geography global oh that's was the right. how would you describe the race to reach in. straight lines. two years ago and has for. the children. themselves. children cheerful generous and then else when they want to learn things i'm happy to see their faces i get the

desired response from them that your feedback if you will. thank you. this. recently. nina was living in a small. room we came here last july the grass was very high here. the first thing that we did. and relieved here until december moving into that barn we covered it with the film and did the same inside to make the barn warm. but the and then my husband found bricks and logs. and he used them to make. their. alexi and his wife nina lived in this tiny bomb until the summer. alexy who was

a successful photographer then began building his family a new home in the spring while nina gave birth to their second child now the house is almost complete alexian lien say they found happiness. we don't do what we don't want to do of course forcing people to do what they dislike is no good it's. your expectations much what you see in the new place. to the situation naturally and you do you want to do. people feel much more comfortable here to have an apartment and money and job or a business where everything was ok with that and yet they decided to come here they're successful here too as for escapism it doesn't work out well as a rule. yes it's me. i
