The ancient, earth-friendly wisdom of Mongolian nomads
TED TALK: The ancient, earth-friendly wisdom of Mongolian nomads | Khulan Batkhuyag
There's a lot we can learn from Mongolian nomads about how to survive in the years to come, says environmental activist Khulan Batkhuyag. Taking us on a journey through the country's stunning rural landscape, she shows how Mongolian nomads have survived in remote areas for thousands of years by virtue of some truly incredible, earth-friendly, zero-waste innovations. There's wisdom here for all of us on how to live more minimally, sustainably and in harmony with Mother Nature.
Note: There's a great indie, documentary-like movie about modern people living in Mongolia, day-to-day. It is stark, quiet and very human. It recalled to me the connexion between these people and Native Americans. Check it out sometime: The Weeping Camel.
