learning is our living bridge

I used to think learning was an individual capacity that each of us builds for our own purposes-- now I see it as something bigger, something we all participate in and steward for the next generation.

  1. That's incredible. Not only the bridge in itself, but the fact that one person had the idea to do so and knew he would have to recruit others for it to proceed. Very cool.

  2. love it.. makes me think of what Jane McGonigal writes about in Reality is Broken - if it matters, it's a multi-player game...

  3. It's like something you would see in a fantasy movie. Building a bridge made of Mother Nature with others reminds me of this course we are taking. We are learning to all collaborate and help one another out through the internet. Besides, it's always useful to know what goes on out there in the world.

  4. This is absolutely breath taking. The thought process that must have gone into this living bridge deserves some sort of award far greater than a simple video documentary. Things like this could improve possibly not the efficiency of the world but it's overall well-being and lead us away from destroying ourselves. These people simply have to be recognized for their absolutely astounding feats in understanding how to utilize the world around us rather than creating from its destruction. I love it.

  5. WOW!! I love mother nature and its remarkable to see so much land untainted by cities. A civilization that thrives and complements itself with nature can be considered primitive by some, but genus by others. Resources are scarce and these people have done a great job of preserving their lifestyle and preserving the forest. You never know when electricity will suddenly be gone, like in the show Revolution (on NBC), and it will be very difficult for America to transition back to nature. We rely so much on technology sometimes you have to retrospect to appreciate what you have. These people do and that's why they thrive so well.

  6. That little girl is very inspiring. Crazy to think that when we see a stick on the ground we see it as a stick. They see it as a valuable source to there everyday life.

  7. Reminds me of "Bridge to Teabithia." It's amazing what people can do working with nature.
