One of the most important videos I have seen recently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdQGozSavz8

Lois Arkin talks about the Los Angeles Ecovillage she cofounded and shows its many parts in practice. Its about how small communities can set up their own infrastructure and services, live much closer to nature, collaborate in many fun and useful projects, and finally, do it all within limited budgets. 



This is one among many shared gardens which grow things, there are play and relaxing areas, and work areas such as shared Tool Shops !



There are only two rules in using the Tool Shop - put things back where they belong in 24 hours, and dont get blood on the tools !


Canning of self-grown fruit in progress here by one of the community members. 



The young inhabit the complex, as well as the old. We generally self-centered North Indians have a lot to learn from this successful experiment.

Kirsten Dirksen uploaded this ecovillage video as well as scores of others that i have been watching recently, on tiny homes and self-help initiatives.
