Young Greeks Create Self-reliant Island Society (video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_96v72EgVE
On the slopes of Mount Telaithrion on the island of Evia, a group of young Greeks have left the busy city and created a self-reliant rural community.
Their goal is to eat only the organic produce they grow themselves, to free themselves from the national electricity grid, and to exchange what they grow or make instead of using money.
The project, whose ultimate goal is to create a school for sustainable living, was the idea of four Athenians who met online back in 2008 and bonded over their dissatisfaction with the daily grind of city life.
“I try to be the change instead of waiting for the government.”
Said the chap at the end of the video.
Cannot argue with one word of that.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
― Richard Buckminster Fuller
This makes my heart proud an I can feel the life in this type of action. This is what we are missing today,,, It is called real living and being totally alive and not just some number on social list.!!!!
