The Schoolhouse Life

More and more we are being told that all of our failing systems can be saved by technology. Food, education, health, business, and so on. But in reality its the turning away from nature and natural systems that is causing the downfall of these systems.

We break it all down and look at what it would be like to follow nature over technology.
