After watching a documentary on the Dervae family, my mind has really been opened up to what people can do to live more sustainibly even if they live in the middle of the city. It really struck me that somebody living in a place as urban as LA can maintain such organic foods and be able to provide for themselves. This family's wants vs needs are way different then mine probably. For one thing, and food items can be taken off the needs list because they can grow all of their own food. Also, it mentioned in the documentary that they use alternate means of transportation which would eliminiate an cars and car maintenence of the list. This video ties into what we are reading on Ishmael because this is an example of a family who's food is not under lock and key because they grow it themselves. Also it is a great inspirational example of how such a simple famly can live so sustainibly.
