Working Villages - Imagine a village with no pollution, no unemployment, and no hunger. Working Villages uses the principle that Ghandi based his non violent revolution on to create sustainable villages in Africa.
There first village was able to produce over 50,000 lbs of food in one month.
When I think about this project it makes me think about the Tarahumara Indians. The Tarahumara Indians live in a society with no heart disease, diabetes, and cancer is extremely rare. These people follow an ancient way of life that makes them invincible to disease and super human when it comes to running distances of 200 miles and beyond without stopping.
The Tarahumara live simply and eat a diet that is over 90% plant foods. Dr. Fuhrman uses a similar diet based off 90 - 100% plant foods to reverse disease.
Isn't fascinating that the ancient cultures of this world have so much to teach this advanced society? When America was first being explored we spent alot of resources destroying "primitive" societies and now as we move forward into time we are learning that cultures like the Tarahumara have alot more to teach us than we can teach them.
