I love it when the kids say
when I was a child
and as I still consider myself a
child I’ll use that same phrase
when I was a child I had a
dream and my dream was to have an aquarium
large enough to fit a
dolphin in like I do not have
no physical memory of that time I
I get help for my nephew
Joao Pedro 3 years old
at first he got a little shy
I did not know very well what to do then
he asked me for help
That’s when I took your little hand and
together we started to draw what was
that dream
and the result was this one soon he
She lost her shyness and started drawing
your own dolphin
I think this dolphin is more
for a pink buttonhole or a button
red even what I did not know is
that this was exactly what he
portrayed in my dream lived during the
my childhood after a few years I
I realized this dream more than
buy an aquarium and I built a
boat with the help of friends and I
living in the natural world of dolphins
pink dolphins and even dolphins
red river amazon
but this was not any boat that
was the iris boat the iris boat was a
dream carved into reality with
our own hands
as we had no money sá our
currency was the barter
We exchanged theatrical presentations for
nuts and bolts in conferences
area of sustainability by ropes and
other tools
We also exchanged workshops in the area of
recycling for food and seasonings and
that’s how they set sail
the region of francisco de orellana
considered entry ports of the
amazon
there were seven people when we used them on board
boat irises were actually six
people and my dog to mika
our mission was to share aspects
sustainability with children and
also with adults
was thus through the language of art
that we were able to pass this
message on sustainability
we also collected on collecting
messages from village leaders
indigenous peoples and also from the
fishermen
these messages were all deposited
inside a bottle making a
allusion to how we communicated
formerly but also as a sign of
warns of how our way of
as our way of consuming in this
world is being very fast
michael reynolds is unb the architect
I admire a lot and
he says there are materials like tires
cans and bottles are natural materials
of this planet
he says that if an ether arrives here today
in this world he will find these
materials floating around many
tires cans and bottles
then to him these materials are
considered natural resources
I’d rather think that in a while
these materials will become your
obsolete and cease to exist but for
while I knew that something had
to be made with this michael reynolds
is also considered the warrior of the

we adopted some warriors

do with so many objects because those
the rubbish kept coming
It was then that I had the idea of
tell
I tell the story to the children, but then I
I realized that I did not know how to count a
tale
So I proposed that we create this
tale together
the idea was to draw a piece of paper
our characters the house of these
characters and the favorite toy
them and that’s when the cat came

the tin doll and a fisherman the cat
butterfly lived in a boat in the middle of
clouds
the doll could have a tin house
at the bottom of the river and the fisherman
At the moment there was no house to live in.
he was a free- time resident
to present the toys a surprise
all the children designed weapons of
fire
instead of asking them, I went to
observe and interact with them so I
I also took a paper and a pen and
to draw my gun but that was a
different weapon instead of shooting
fire bullet destruction was a weapon that
shooting rainbow was a joy
magic weapon that also transformed
all the wasted resources in more
toys immediately those
children began to pick up
and coloring their weapons.
and also their weapons also passed
to be magic weapons
one of them in particular shot castle

elephant went down in the middle of the story
in the middle of the Amazon and we
this elephant in history he went on to
receive a magick from the cat and his
very large trunk was able to reach
the bottom of the river and so clean all that
dirt there tava the role the
characters came to life and went on to
to be puppets being manipulated by
our crew and for all the
children
There they would play with the paper people .
characters also came to life
again and became the very
children playing theater in
schools in the streets and even in the
awesome theater amazon in manaus
this was a troubled time in the
Brazil where thousands of people also
went to the streets to express their
indignation
This was the period of July 2013
before due iris boat i lived in
Sao Paulo
at 23 years old I was already
journalist and postgraduate and
like many young people of that time
I dreamed of growing up in life.
That’s when I moved to
England and develops a career
As time went by I became the boss of
marketing department of a
university earned about 20 thousand
real per month and was very well but
It was when I went to spend the holidays in
Australia that I realized that
something was missing in my
Life I came to live in a refuge
in one of the densest forests
of the world in nine islam
while walking through those forests
I suddenly felt the volume sting
until then I did not know that it would be
application of sustainability in my
life but something had come into my eye
I was sure and I thought it was
one gives you a leaf keep following
one suddenly had another sting and I gave myself
that a leech had
entered my eye
that leech was literally
sucking my eye
taking my blood but that’s when
I had a crack in the truth it was not
that leech we were
coming up was the system I was
living and no matter how much she was living
not if a first world country is
still trapped in that system
capitalist if full of errors
It was then that I had to take a
I went back to Australia or
Sorry, I’m leaving Australia. I’m back.
to England and to resign from my
job
I sold everything
I donate a lot more than I bought a
I pass and I went back to Brazil to
starting this project called found the
project adventures in search of nem tem
x sustainable future or the land code
adventurers in search of a system of
an intentionally sustainable future
At that moment I realized that instead
to only record what the
communities intentionally
were also making me
could coexist with nature through
from my hands and I happen to be a
interviewer to an interviewee
while my hands were
busy pulling his Luis carriage
through the streets of são paulo
my hands also became dirty
mud
when picking up the clay mix with the straw and
to make a plaster of a wall of a
house in patagonia
my hands will also serve to
plant food for the next
generations being that I would leave
of that space but the plant is
keep growing
my hands also took up arms
white
participating in a joint
construction of a green roof and was
thus looking for biases and windows
opening up that I started there really
live this future intentionally
sustainable development that
from time to time also gives a throw
bicycle in the dump and the dump is one
a source of materials that we use
to work with a variety of
constructions like that window that
show you
the dump is considered a shopping mall today
because there is so much there
inside that people are wasting
Let’s go and enjoy this
bike for the iris boat was like this
with one leap
I went through Brazil, Argentina, Chile.
australia chile peru bolivia ecuador
Colombia and when I got there I
I attended a conference in the area
of sustainability
and this is how the idea of
build the boat they boat them
So
left the ecuador passed by turkey
colombia and finish here in
Belém do Pará
our idea was to leave the great rivers
and join the ocean of Bethlehem of Par
to são paulo
It was a nonstop flight I left the
to literally dive into the
Babylon
imagine a slug trying to cross the
Sao Paulo avenue at peak hours
extra being reinserted into the
civilization but rather than criticize
the system I knew I had to do
something, so I wore a
sustainability binoculars and I
to see Sao Paulo with other eyes
one of the first actions I took
was to tell this tale through a
photographic exhibition and if
My father misses my dream come true.

My father was also one of the 21

to amazonas street and in the background of this photo
these green trees that you can
follow here are part of the park of light
the first park in São Paulo and was
through a lecture I gave
on the feasibility of a city
sustainable development that I discovered through
the possibility of bringing
sustainability back to
paulo and it was so during this talk
who also knew the park augusta
the augusta park is an area of 25 thousand
square meters located in the heart
from São Paulo
an ant little something insignificant
for the size of São Paulo
was not the fact that this area is the
last free area of
buildings of the center of são paulo
and this is an area that is being
suffocated by
real estate population this is a
little lung of the world that
not only in the center of são paulo
but in other parts of the city and I
I realized that this is not an isolated fact
nor to the center of são paulo nor to
all are paulo or other cities
country or to other cities of the
world
was through the dona ana a lady of
83 years old at that time
recently completed 80 springs that had
the idea of calling a series of acts in
defense of the threatened
Paulo
after the first act the network was born
new parks to network new parks today
already mapped more than 50 areas
to become parks in the city and is
in connection with several others
movements all over Brazil
At that moment I began to feel
home
realizing that not only the new network
parks and other movements and
initiatives people were just
in search of a network to unite a
trust network trying there
transform the world into a network of
trust for the rights of mother earth
This is a network called Home Council
of sustainable settlements in
Latin America of which I am a part and
just like Brazil there are other
houses scattered throughout South America
like home and Latin America also
with mexico house
the house is chile the house colombia
there are other houses emerging in other
countries of our region as a republic
Dominican Republic or Uruguayan
Here it goes
if michael reynolds is was considered
or is still considered the warrior of the
trash I bring the example of another
inspiring person for me to die
are the father of permaculture considered
by me
The Warrior of Settlement Design

he often says that systems
are not so
easy to be shared by
those who hold power
It’s the reason it ‘s very simple.
allow people to build
their own homes plan in their
their own food and run their own
energy is to lose political power and
about them
so he says he said that people
must stop looking at these
hierarchical structures or that the
government to help us devise ways to
help yourself
This is what I call high management and
There are people who ask me if I am
some sort of postmodern hip trying to
save the world with your own hands
for these people
I say that every person has a mission
in this land and my personal mission the
my land code is the live learn and
to share
What is your land gratitude code?
