this kind of use of all ecological zones, largely from necessity, aided by great ingenuity and wonderful memories, no ipods, no computers to help, this kind of thing meant certain things for indian life, which the english very, very often misunderstood. all mothers were working mothers. they all had to go out of the town to get the stuff they were supposed to come back and process. daddy did not gather reeds in the marshes. daddy did not dig tuckahoe. daddy had other things he was supposed to be doing. so the women and girls were coming and going all of the time. and the house-building was apparently women's work. the saplings had to be gotten. you had to go where you got the right species of tree, ironwood is one of the best. and as you got to go out and get a lot of them, so you're going to be out in the woods quite a while. and then you've got to hump them back, giddyup, ma. and as for the reeds for the mats -- and the women would have to go out in the marshes for that by canoe. canoes were not for toys for overgrown boys. both sexes had to use canoes. and that brings me to the next t

keach: could the collapse here have been caused by an ecological disaster ?support such a theory, sanders must first analyze the ability of the maya to harvest energy from their environment. sanders: the ancient maya, like most pre-industrial peoples, performed all the work using human muscular energy. and that energy was derived from maize, the staple crop. the construction of the great pyramids that you see and the temples and the carving of those stelae was all done with human labor. and so it's extremely important to know what the capabilities are of this valley in terms of supporting large populations, of sustaining a population for those kinds of activities. keach: today the copan valley supports about 25,000 people, almost as many as lived here just before the maya collapse. and these people are sustained by maize, or corn, as were the maya. by investigating how modern farmers earn a livelihood, bill sanders hopes to understand the capacity of the valley to support ancient populations as well. he begins by talking to the farmers themselves. no hay frij

we started to promote non- violent farming for ecological reasons. it became increasingly economic because a high price tag was pushing farmers into debt. they are trapped in high-cost materials. eventually, less and less value because of the subsidies, etc. so we built a network of farmers who grow diversity and have doubled their incomes and nutritional outputs. most importantly, they are rebuilding nature's economy. what is wrong with the present model of the economy is because it came from fossil fuels. we cannot afford to keep thinking that fossil fuels are at the center of work which displaces people which is why unemployment is linked to ecological destruction. [applause] we now need to link stabilizing, maintaining, conserving, and rebuilding the nation's wealth of soil, biodiversity, stabilizing the climate. about $80 billion is the cost of extreme events. we are not doing terribly well. the kind of agriculture we promote is getting rid of 70% species destruction, water waste. a lot of the water crisis is related to waste. 30% of greenhouse

we have to become designers of ecosystems, systems of both ecology and economy to channel not only thelow of people throughout the buildings but also the flow of resources like heat, energy, waste and water. stop seeing our presence like the human presence on planet earth as a sort of detrimental to our ecosystem but actually tries to sort of integrate and cooperate our patterns and our leftovers into our environment. sustainability can't be like some sort of a moral sacrifice or political dilemma or a philanthropical cause, it has to be a design challenge. this is the dainj pavilion in shanghai. it was built with sustainable cities. our idea was to try to concept all of the elements of the city life where the city is sustainable increases its life quality. the fact that copenhagens commute by bicycle, they're never stuck in a traffic jam. they can move to and from freely. people can paddle and swim with the little mermaid, the national symbol of denmark that we managed to kidnap for six months. we decided to place the little mermaid of denmark, not a copy of the mermaid, we had to wre
