then years ago in a butt on the coast
delicious
surrounded by jungle with an incredible pace
broken and where many animals are seen
wild toucans monkeys guatusas until a
puma that ate two dogs in general
It happens to me and when I tell where I live
many think I live like this or like that but
that truth the reality different but
before I want to tell you how and why
the idea of the cube was born
I was born in a big city I never
they liked the cities
the noise the smoke the segment the
pollution felt that it was not my
place
I did not like it either and the school
memorize repeat
I felt it would be if it killed my
the independence creativity
curiosity the joy and even the desire
to play
when I finished school I went to the
university did not know who it was or who
they wanted life but what I had
of course I needed was to travel
see new places and live new
experiences
part of this trip made that thousand 999
Follow this wonderful country
I immediately fell in love with the weather
the nature of the people for the first
I once felt at home
one day I was volunteering at a
turtle conservation project in
the south caribbean to be sincere nor
I knew what conservation was
it went on because there was a
Very beautiful volunteer who invited me to
aek that you go to that same told me that
it means to know cute tip and
We went after a long long walk
on the beach crossing the rivers
we arrived
it was a magical place in all the
travel we crossed not even one
person there was a small island
opposite and only nature
suddenly we saw someone was steven
brooks
so in cute tip he was creating a
educational center for
self-sustainability we talked about
moments immediately we made
friends and that day before leaving he told me
come tomorrow that I ‘m going to teach
how to cook with kaká I stayed
thinking all night how will it be
possible after a long
I was helping activate a long time
so I learned about permaculture that is
a design system for creation
of regenerative human environments be
sustainable is not enough when
we need almost the planets of
resources to supply our consumption
current
we only have one to the truth at
have lived so many years in a city
I had never asked where
comes our food and energy the
gas the water or where our
waste
I always saw it as a fact having
lived in a place in contact with the
nature totally outside the network
I had never felt as much freedom as
until that moment what was happening to me
when I left the jungle as I felt
that humans are living a
virtual reality
with this I do not mean the glasses
that are used for video games or see
movies but there are certain things in
the world that we can not
control as the night the day
stations or we need water food
or demands not to live
these are real concrete things for the
otherwise there are certain things that we
we create and that they are part of reality
virtual to which I refer the money
the wars the governments the countries
our identity
these are things that we
we invent and to keep this
reality
I feel we are putting in danger
our survival and that of many
other species
we are the only ones on the planet that
we live in this virtual reality
bush to keep it we are putting in
danger to animals
our planet and ourselves as
part of this experiment
I wanted to share with you a
experience that touched me very deep
this was the Argentine crisis in 2001
the economic crisis
I already lived here but my family will
he played very hard
my grandpa with whom I had a
super close relationship and that work
hard all his life who had
savings and properties that he rented and
the overnight
the banks did not give him his money
the tenants could not pay him the
rental
my dad with more than 55 years went to
live to start again
we all believe to me it will not happen to me
well five presidents passed in one
week people burning cars breaking
stained glass windows looting supermarkets for
to be able to eat
as he said to me it will not happen to me but
we never know when our economy
it’s a monopoly game with this
discover the importance of being
self – sufficient to have covered what
essential water food and roof and energy
everything else is extra in 2004
I met my wife Cem actually
call sun together we share the dream
to live in a blanket and create a
family
we went out in search of our home
iii and all the projects that
we went or was there was pure
cement or they were too rustic cute
for
spend a few days but not to live on
permanent way as we do not find it
I decided to create I had several attempts to
realize this dream but for a reason
or another one was not able to concretize me
frustrated but I’ll try one and
again meanwhile he was still
learning from development and
communities in 2009 had one of the
best experiences of my life was born
my first son honor upon his arrival was
like the engine of a rocket that looked for me
to be able to realize this dream of
live in contact with nature
live in a community and be able to give it a
alternative education
finally this dream came true in
a farm in the canton of San Mateo de
alajuela a super quiet place and
cute to live
san mateo that he a rural place is a
rural canton where like the area
that most of the rural areas of the
country
there is not much employment and many people opt
for going to live in the cities
this is not just a coastal problem
rich but that is globally
this is why in most of the
cities there pollution road chaos
over population and are not sustainable in
the time looking for solution to these
problems and being more resilient was born
lay villa
the design counted 44 lots that very few
months without any advertising attracted
people to several nationals and people of 27
countries look like the united nations
we opted for a legal figure that the
people know banks accept that is
the condominium of lots where each one
has the title of your property is
say that he owns 100 percent
of your property and co-owner of all
those of all common areas of
covilhá
it was a cattle ranch it means that
had been deforested with the design and
implementation of the best
permaculture
we did a reforestation that
even native species and hundreds of
fruit trees with an incredible variety
we live in an edible forest is
incredible to be able to walk and eat
delicious tropical fruits like in
any condo pay fees
monthly but apart from brings of
hire workers for the
maintenance of the waves of the zones
common
they are responsible for producing food
fruits vegetables and organic herbs and
every week every resident
we receive a box with what is in
production we have our own water
we are connected to the network and you
we say that we created several gaps that
apart from having an aesthetic function
they handle all the rainwater
these are these water humidities collect
any sediment that together with
feces of clam shrimp fish and
ducks living in them the Russians
we touch for for fertilizer in the orchards and
fruit trees
like all the waste
organic of the houses that it collects
we connect in the garden
we have a recycling station
and we encourage the three Rs to reduce
reuse and recycle
with this we lower the amount very much
of garbage that reaches landfills
in all the landscape you can not see any
Cable since all all electricity
it’s underground and we have fiber
optics until the house was the first
residential project in the area in
count on this what allows all
we can work from home
Teleworking allows us to save
gasoline that we save provides for that
let’s lower the dams and I improved
very much productivity
this is an excellent model of how
foreigners can generate their income
in their countries online
they invest the money in the country
growing and creating a lot of
sources of employment and creating a lot
in front of employment in rural areas that
it’s so important to not have
than go to cities
we have a whatsapp group where
we share raids all the streets of
project are made of a guide that
They are 100% recycled plastic works
with a like a colander where it makes the
water can be filtered to the ground and instead
of having sidewalks that space what
we use to plant more food at
that is around the roads
each one is responsible for designing and
build your house
there are models of green houses every time
using iron bamboo wood
more wood and adobe block this house by
example is the entire structure is
made with recycled old car and the
walls are made of recycled paper
we seek that the houses have efficiency
energy that have ventilation
cross natural lighting low
maintenance and many of the houses
We have company solar
just like the common areas
these during the day we send energy
to the network and at night we take it say
that we do not use batteries we use the network
as batteries having costa rica a
So clean energy matrix is not worth the
pain
some stayed thinking about how it was
this cooking with kaká is the
way all the waters that come out of the
toilets wash houses come to
a biodigester that is a plant
treatment
so there are giant bags that
collect all the water and through the
natural decomposition is going
producing gas that is stored in that
zeppelins and that gas can be used to
Cook
to produce electricity to make
ride cars among other things people
local sells chicken eggs fish
meats
we have a farmers fair all
Saturdays all organic without containers and
without having to leave the butt this
type of projects and techniques can be
do in cities in urban areas in
suburban and rural areas
can do in in their own homes in
condominiums in buildings in each space
you can create orchards can be produced
electricity
there are social housing that I know
how is this project in Cuba that are
implementing gardens and since they feed
a lot of the population is possible
live in harmony with such nature
without neglecting comfort life
community is a very important part of
the cob and we already have a pool with
health system instead of chemicals and
encourages social interaction in this
ranch we have parties events meetings
courses we have circles around the
fire live music circle of
men and women in this other ranch
we have yoga classes for workshops
tai chi chi meditation with dancing and
until heroic of the teacher chancleta
there they have it, it’s not good for any
sport and through the challenge of my
woman gave me tells me to see if you dare
to give a class of the ordinary and I
I started to dance a little and meditate if I
encourage to give a class like that
aerobics to the community
you can not imagine what they laughed
the story did not end here the the
education of our children was super
important for us that’s why several
members of the community three educators
incredible and the peláez family that
gave the space we created blue house to
an amazing place a place where
children learn to learn children from 3 to
18 years without blackboards without teachers
classrooms is an incredible project that
everyone is invited to meet
let’s imagine for a moment how it would be
our world
if we all trust our intuition
we need new new stories
dreams to continue creating a future
although we all want to be part and
feel proud of the new
reality that we are leaving to give
for future generations
thank you very much
