Acompanyem en John Hardy a fer una volta per l'Escola Verda, la seva escola autosuficient a Bali, on els nens aprenen a construir, cultivar, crear (i a preparar-se per la universitat). El centre del campus és un edifici en forma d'espiral, el Cor de l'Escola, segurament l'edifici de bambú més gran del món.

I grew up
0
0
2000
Vaig créixer
00:17
in a very small village in Canada,
1
2000
3000
en un poble molt petit del Canadà,
00:20
and I'm an undiagnosed
2
5000
3000
i sóc un dislèctic
00:23
dyslexic.
3
8000
2000
no diagnosticat.
00:25
I had a really hard time in school.
4
10000
3000
Ho vaig passar molt malament a l'escola.
00:28
In fact, my mother told me eventually
5
13000
2000
De fet, anys després ma mare em va explicar
00:30
that I was the little kid in the village
6
15000
2000
que era el nen del poble
00:32
who cried all the way to school.
7
17000
3000
que sempre plorava quan anava a l'escola.
00:37
I ran away.
8
22000
2000
Vaig marxar.
00:39
I left when I was 25 years old to go to Bali,
9
24000
3000
Quan tenia 25 anys me'n vaig anar a Bali.
00:44
and there I met my incredible wife, Cynthia,
10
29000
3000
I allà és on vaig conèixer la meva meravellosa dona, la Cynthia,
00:47
and together, over 20 years,
11
32000
3000
i junts, durant 20 anys,
00:50
we built an amazing jewelry business.
12
35000
3000
hem portat un negoci de joieria fantàstic.
00:53
It was a fairy tale, and then we retired.
13
38000
3000
Va ser un conte de fades i després ens vam jubilar.
00:56
Then she took me to see a film
14
41000
2000
Un dia em va portar a veure una pel·lícula
00:58
that I really didn't want to see.
15
43000
3000
que jo no tenia interès a veure.
01:01
It ruined my life --
16
46000
3000
Va arruïnar-me la vida.
01:04
(Laughter)
17
49000
2000
(Riuen)
01:06
"The Inconvenient Truth" and Mr. Gore.
18
51000
3000
Era "Una veritat incòmoda" del Sr. Gore.
01:09
I have four kids,
19
54000
3000
Tinc quatre fills,
01:12
and even if part of what he says is true,
20
57000
3000
i si una part del que diu és cert,
01:15
they're not going to have the life that I had.
21
60000
3000
no tindran la vida que he tingut jo.
01:19
And I decided at that moment
22
64000
3000
I en aquell moment vaig decidir
01:22
that I would spend the rest of my life
23
67000
3000
que m'estaria la resta de la vida
01:25
doing whatever I could
24
70000
3000
fent tot el que pogués
01:28
to improve their possibilities.
25
73000
3000
per millorar les seves possibilitats.
01:32
So here's the world,
26
77000
2000
Això és el món,
01:34
and here we are in Bali.
27
79000
3000
i aquí és on som nosaltres, a Bali.
01:37
It's a tiny, little island --
28
82000
2000
És una illa petita, diminuta
01:39
60 miles by 90 miles.
29
84000
2000
de 96 km per 145 km.
01:41
It has an intact Hindu culture.
30
86000
3000
La seva cultura hindú es manté intacta.
01:44
Cynthia and I were there.
31
89000
2000
La Cynthia i jo érem allà,
01:46
We had had a wonderful life there,
32
91000
3000
on teníem una vida meravellosa,
01:49
and we decided to do something unusual.
33
94000
3000
i vam decidir fer una cosa poc comuna.
01:52
We decided to give back
34
97000
3000
Vam decidir fer alguna cosa
01:55
locally.
35
100000
2000
per a la comunitat local.
01:57
And here it is: it's called the Green School.
36
102000
3000
I aquí la teniu, l'Escola Verda.
02:00
I know it doesn't look like a school,
37
105000
2000
Ja sé que no ho sembla una escola,
02:02
but it is something we decided to do,
38
107000
3000
però ho vam decidir així,
02:05
and it is extremely,
39
110000
2000
i és extremadament,
02:07
extremely green.
40
112000
3000
extremadament verda.
02:10
The classrooms have no walls.
41
115000
3000
Les aules no tenen parets.
02:13
The teacher is writing on a bamboo blackboard.
42
118000
3000
El mestre escriu en una pissarra de bambú.
02:16
The desks are not square.
43
121000
3000
Els pupitres no són quadrats.
02:19
At Green School, the children are smiling --
44
124000
3000
A l'Escola Verda els nens somriuen,
02:22
an unusual thing for school, especially for me.
45
127000
3000
cosa estranya en una escola, especialment per a mi.
02:25
And we practice holism.
46
130000
3000
I practiquem l'holisme.
02:28
And for me it's just the idea
47
133000
2000
Per a mi, la idea és que
02:30
that, if this little girl
48
135000
2000
si aquesta nena
02:32
graduates as a whole person,
49
137000
2000
aprèn a ser una persona íntegra,
02:34
chances are
50
139000
2000
hi ha més possibilitats
02:36
she'll demand a whole world --
51
141000
2000
que vulgui viure en un món íntegre,
02:38
a whole world --
52
143000
2000
un món íntegre
02:40
to live on.
53
145000
2000
per viure-hi.
02:42
Our children spend 181 days
54
147000
3000
Els nostres fills passen 181 dies
02:45
going to school in a box.
55
150000
3000
anant a una escola tancada, com una capsa.
02:48
The people that built my school
56
153000
2000
Els que van construir l'escola on anava
02:50
also built the prison and the insane asylum
57
155000
3000
també havien construït la presó i el manicomi
02:53
out of the same materials.
58
158000
3000
tot amb els mateixos materials.
02:58
So if this gentleman
59
163000
2000
Així doncs, si aquest senyor
03:00
had had a holistic education,
60
165000
2000
hagués rebut una educació holística,
03:02
would he be sitting there?
61
167000
2000
creieu que estaria assegut allí?
03:04
Would he have had more possibilities in his life?
62
169000
3000
Hauria tingut més possibilitats a la vida?
03:09
The classrooms have natural light.
63
174000
2000
Les aules tenen llum natural.
03:11
They're beautiful. They're bamboo.
64
176000
3000
Són precioses, de bambú.
03:14
The breeze passes through them.
65
179000
2000
La brisa corre per elles.
03:16
And when the natural breeze isn't enough,
66
181000
3000
I quan la brisa no és suficient,
03:19
the kids deploy bubbles,
67
184000
2000
els nens despleguen bombolles
03:21
but not the kind of bubbles you know.
68
186000
2000
però no les bombolles que coneixeu.
03:23
These bubbles are made from natural cotton
69
188000
2000
Aquestes estan fetes de cotó natural
03:25
and rubber from the rubber tree.
70
190000
3000
i goma de l'arbre del cautxú.
03:28
So we basically turned the box
71
193000
2000
Així que bàsicament hem convertit la caixa
03:30
into a bubble.
72
195000
2000
en una bombolla.
03:32
And these kids know
73
197000
2000
I aquests nens saben
03:34
that painless climate control
74
199000
3000
que un sistema de climatització fàcil
03:37
may not be
75
202000
2000
no necessàriament formarà
03:39
part of their future.
76
204000
2000
part del seu futur.
03:42
We pay the bill at the end of the month,
77
207000
2000
Paguem una factura a final de mes,
03:44
but the people that are really going to pay the bill
78
209000
2000
però els que pagaran la factura de debò
03:46
are our grandchildren.
79
211000
2000
seran els nostres néts.
03:49
We have to teach the kids
80
214000
2000
Hem d'ensenyar als nens
03:51
that the world is not indestructible.
81
216000
3000
que el món no és indestructible.
03:56
These kids did a little graffiti on their desks,
82
221000
3000
Aquests nens van ratllar una mica els pupitres,
03:59
and then they signed up for two extra courses.
83
224000
3000
i aleshores els van inscriure en dos cursos extra.
04:02
The first one was called sanding
84
227000
3000
El primer era de polir
04:05
and the second one was called re-waxing.
85
230000
3000
i el segon era d'encerar.
04:08
But since that happened,
86
233000
3000
Però des d'aleshores,
04:11
they own those desks.
87
236000
3000
aquells pupitres són seus.
04:14
They know they can control their world.
88
239000
3000
Saben que poden controlar el seu món.
04:18
We're on the grid. We're not proud of it.
89
243000
3000
Estem utilitzant electricitat i no n'estem orgullosos,
04:21
But an amazing alternative energy company in Paris
90
246000
3000
però una empresa fantàstica d'energies alternatives de París
04:24
is taking us off the grid with solar.
91
249000
3000
ens està ajudant a canviar-la per energia solar.
04:27
And this thing
92
252000
2000
I això
04:29
is the second vortex to be built in the world,
93
254000
3000
és el segon vórtex que s'ha construït al món
04:32
in a two-and-a-half meter drop on a river.
94
257000
3000
té una caiguda de 2,5 metres a un riu
04:35
When the turbine drops in,
95
260000
2000
Quan la turbina funcioni,
04:37
it will produce 8,000 watts of electricity,
96
262000
2000
produirà 8.000 watts d'electricitat,
04:39
day and night.
97
264000
2000
de dia i de nit.
04:41
And you know what these are.
98
266000
2000
I això ja sabeu què és.
04:43
There's nowhere to flush.
99
268000
2000
No hi ha cap sistema d'evacuació
04:45
And as long as we're taking our waste
100
270000
2000
i cada cop que anem al lavabo,
04:47
and mixing it with a huge amount of water --
101
272000
2000
ho barregem amb grans quantitats d'aigua,
04:49
you're all really smart, just do the math.
102
274000
3000
sou prou intel·ligents, feu el càlcul.
04:52
How many people times how much water.
103
277000
2000
Tanta gent per tanta aigua.
04:54
There isn't enough water.
104
279000
2000
No hi ha prou aigua.
04:56
These are compost toilets,
105
281000
2000
Això són lavabos de compostatge.
04:58
and nobody at the school wanted to know about them,
106
283000
3000
Primer ningú no en volia saber res,
05:01
especially the principal.
107
286000
2000
sobretot el director.
05:04
And they work. People use them. People are okay.
108
289000
3000
Però funcionen, la gent els utilitza. Els està bé.
05:07
It's something you should think about doing.
109
292000
3000
És una cosa que us hauríeu de plantejar.
05:11
Not many things didn't work.
110
296000
3000
No van ser gaires les coses que no van funcionar.
05:14
The beautiful canvas and rubber skylights
111
299000
3000
Aquests tendals preciosos i claraboies de cautxú
05:17
got eaten by the sun in six months.
112
302000
2000
se'ls ha menjat el sol en sis mesos.
05:19
We had to replace them with recyclable plastic.
113
304000
3000
Els hem hagut de substituir per plàstic reciclable.
05:23
The teachers dragged giant PVC whiteboards
114
308000
3000
Els professors van portar pissarres gegants de PVC
05:26
into the classrooms.
115
311000
2000
a les aules,
05:28
So we had some good ideas:
116
313000
2000
aleshores vam tenir algunes idees bones.
05:30
we took old automobile windshields, put paper behind them
117
315000
3000
Vam agafar els parabrises d'uns cotxes vells, vam posar-hi paper al darrere,
05:33
and created the first alternative
118
318000
2000
i vam crear la primera alternativa
05:35
to the whiteboard.
119
320000
2000
a la pissarra.
05:39
Green School sits in south-central Bali,
120
324000
3000
L'Escola Verda està situada al sud de Bali,
05:42
and it's on 20 acres
121
327000
2000
i té unes 8 hectàrees
05:44
of rolling garden.
122
329000
2000
de jardins al voltant.
05:46
There's an amazing river traveling through it,
123
331000
3000
Hi ha un riu magnífic que passa pel mig
05:49
and you can see there
124
334000
2000
i aquí podeu veure
05:51
how we manage to get across the river.
125
336000
3000
com ho fem per travessar-lo.
05:54
I met a father the other day; he looked a little crazed.
126
339000
3000
L'altre dia vaig conèixer un pare, estava una mica alterat.
05:57
I said, "Welcome to Green School."
127
342000
2000
Li vaig dir: "Benvingut a l'Escola Verda".
05:59
He said, "I've been on an airplane for 24 hours."
128
344000
3000
I em va respondre: "M'he passat 24 hores en un avió"
06:03
I asked him, "Why?"
129
348000
3000
Vaig preguntar-li: "Per què?"
06:06
He said, "I had a dream once about a green school,
130
351000
3000
I em va dir: "Fa temps vaig somiar en una escola verda,
06:09
and I saw a picture of this green school,
131
354000
2000
i quan vaig veure una foto d'aquesta,
06:11
I got on an airplane.
132
356000
2000
vaig anar a agafar l'avió.
06:13
In August I'm bringing my sons."
133
358000
3000
L'agost que ve portaré els meus fills."
06:16
This was a great thing.
134
361000
2000
Això és fantàstic.
06:18
But more than that,
135
363000
2000
Però no és tot,
06:20
people are building green houses around Green School,
136
365000
3000
la gent està construint cases verdes al voltant de l'Escola Verda,
06:23
so their kids can walk to school on the paths.
137
368000
3000
perquè els nens puguin anar-hi pels camins.
06:27
And people are bringing their green industries,
138
372000
2000
I estan portant indústries ecològiques,
06:29
hopefully their green restaurants,
139
374000
2000
esperem que també restaurants ecològics,
06:31
to the Green School.
140
376000
2000
a l'Escola Verda.
06:33
It's becoming a community.
141
378000
2000
S'està convertint en una comunitat,
06:35
It's becoming a green model.
142
380000
3000
en un model ecològic.
06:38
We had to look at everything.
143
383000
2000
Vam haver de pensar en tot.
06:40
No petrochemicals in the pavement.
144
385000
2000
No utilitzem petroquímics per al paviment.
06:42
No pavement.
145
387000
2000
No hi ha asfalt.
06:44
These are volcanic stones laid by hand.
146
389000
2000
Això són pedres volcàniques col·locades a mà.
06:46
There are no sidewalks.
147
391000
2000
No hi ha voreres.
06:48
The sidewalks are gravel. They flood when it rains,
148
393000
3000
Les voreres són de grava, s'inunden quan plou,
06:51
but they're green.
149
396000
2000
però són ecològiques.
06:53
This is the school buffalo.
150
398000
2000
Aquest és el búfal de l'escola.
06:57
He's planning to eat that fence for dinner.
151
402000
3000
Està pensant en menjar-se la tanca per sopar.
07:00
All the fences at Green School are green.
152
405000
2000
Totes les tanques de l'Escola Verda són verdes
07:02
And when the kindergarten kids
153
407000
2000
I quan els nens de la guarderia
07:04
recently moved their gate,
154
409000
2000
van canviar la porta no fa gaire,
07:06
they found out the fence was made out of tapioca.
155
411000
3000
van descobrir que estava feta de tapioca.
07:09
They took the tapioca roots up to the kitchen,
156
414000
3000
Van portar les arrels de tapioca a la cuina,
07:12
sliced them thinly and made delicious chips.
157
417000
3000
les van tallar ben finetes i van fer-ne unes patates boníssimes.
07:15
Landscaping.
158
420000
3000
La jardineria.
07:18
We manage to keep the garden that was there
159
423000
2000
Hem intentat mantenir la vegetació que hi havia
07:20
running right up to the edge of each of the classrooms.
160
425000
3000
que arriba ben bé fins a la vora de les aules.
07:23
We dropped them gently in.
161
428000
2000
El deixem créixer.
07:25
We made space for these guys
162
430000
3000
Vam haver de fer lloc per a aquests senyors
07:28
who are Bali's last black pigs.
163
433000
3000
que són els últims porcs negres de Bali.
07:32
And the school cow
164
437000
2000
I la vaca de l'escola
07:34
is trying to figure out
165
439000
2000
ens està ensenyant
07:36
how to replace the lawnmower
166
441000
2000
que pot substituir el tallagespa
07:38
on the playing field.
167
443000
2000
al terreny de joc.
07:40
These young ladies
168
445000
2000
Aquestes senyoretes
07:42
are living in a rice culture,
169
447000
2000
viuen a la cultura de l'arròs,
07:44
but they know something that few people know in a rice culture.
170
449000
3000
però saben una cosa que poca gent de la cultura de l'arròs sap:
07:47
They know how to plant organic rice,
171
452000
2000
saben plantar arròs orgànic,
07:49
they know how to look after it,
172
454000
2000
saben tenir-ne cura,
07:51
they know how to harvest and they know how to cook it.
173
456000
3000
saben collir-lo i saben cuinar-lo.
07:54
They're part of the rice cycle
174
459000
2000
Formen part del cicle de l'arròs
07:56
and these skills will be valuable
175
461000
2000
i aquestes habilitats seran molt valuoses
07:58
for them in their future.
176
463000
2000
per a elles en un futur.
08:00
This young man is picking organic vegetables.
177
465000
3000
Aquest jove està collint verdures ecològiques.
08:04
We feed 400 people lunch every day
178
469000
3000
Cada dia alimentem unes 400 persones.
08:07
and it's not a normal lunch. There's no gas.
179
472000
3000
I no és un menjar qualsevol, està fet sense gas.
08:10
Local Balinese women
180
475000
2000
Les dones balineses
08:12
cook the food on sawdust burners
181
477000
3000
cuinen en uns forns de serradures
08:15
using secrets that only their grandmothers know.
182
480000
3000
utilitzant els secrets que només les seves àvies saben.
08:19
The food is incredible.
183
484000
3000
El menjar és increïble.
08:23
Green School is a place of pioneers,
184
488000
2000
L'Escola Verda és un lloc per a pioners.
08:25
local and global.
185
490000
2000
locals i globals.
08:27
And it's a kind of microcosm
186
492000
2000
És una mena de microcosmos
08:29
of the globalized world.
187
494000
2000
d'aquest món globalitzat.
08:31
The kids are from 25 countries.
188
496000
2000
Els nens són de 25 països diferents.
08:33
When I see them together,
189
498000
2000
Quan els veig a tots junts,
08:35
I know that they're working out
190
500000
3000
sé que estan aprenent
08:38
how to live in the future.
191
503000
3000
com viure en el futur.
08:41
Green School is going into its third year
192
506000
2000
L'Escola Verda ja té tres anys
08:43
with 160 children.
193
508000
2000
i 160 nens.
08:45
It's a school where you do learn reading --
194
510000
2000
És una escola on s'aprèn a llegir,
08:47
one of my favorites --
195
512000
2000
una de les coses que més m'agrada,
08:49
writing -- I was bad at it --
196
514000
2000
a escriure, jo no era gaire bo en això,
08:51
arithmetic.
197
516000
2000
aritmètica...
08:53
But you also learn other things.
198
518000
2000
Però també s'aprenen altres coses.
08:55
You learn bamboo building.
199
520000
2000
S'aprèn a construir amb bambú.
08:57
You practice
200
522000
2000
Es practiquen
08:59
ancient Balinese arts.
201
524000
2000
arts antigues balineses.
09:01
This is called mud wrestling in the rice fields.
202
526000
3000
Aquesta lluita és al fang dels camps d'arròs.
09:04
The kids love it.
203
529000
2000
Als nens els encanta.
09:06
The mothers aren't quite convinced.
204
531000
2000
A les mares no els convenç pas tant.
09:08
(Laughter)
205
533000
2000
(Riuen)
09:10
We've done a lot of outrageous things in our lives,
206
535000
2000
Hem vist molts abusos al llarg de les nostres vides,
09:12
and we said, okay, local, what does "local" mean?
207
537000
3000
i vam dir-nos, d'acord, local; però què vol dir local?
09:15
Local means
208
540000
2000
Local significa
09:17
that 20 percent of the population of the school
209
542000
2000
que el 20% de la gent de l'escola
09:19
has to be Balinese,
210
544000
2000
ha de ser balinès.
09:21
and this was a really big commitment.
211
546000
2000
Això va ser un gran compromís.
09:23
And we were right.
212
548000
2000
I vam fer el que era correcte.
09:25
And people are coming forward
213
550000
2000
Hi ha gent que s'ofereix
09:27
from all over the world
214
552000
3000
des de molts llocs del món
09:30
to support the Balinese Scholarship Fund,
215
555000
3000
per donar suport al Fons de Beques de Bali,
09:33
because these kids will be Bali's next green leaders.
216
558000
4000
perquè aquests nens seran els pròxims líders verds de Bali.
09:37
The teachers are as diverse
217
562000
2000
Els professors són tan diversos
09:39
as the student body,
218
564000
2000
com l'alumnat.
09:41
and the amazing thing
219
566000
2000
I la cosa més meravellosa
09:43
is that volunteers are popping up.
220
568000
2000
és que estan apareixent voluntaris.
09:45
A man came from Java
221
570000
2000
Va venir un home de Java
09:47
with a new kind of organic agriculture.
222
572000
2000
amb un nou tipus d'agricultura orgànica.
09:49
A woman came from Africa with music.
223
574000
3000
Una dona africana va aportar la música.
09:52
And together these volunteers and the teachers
224
577000
3000
I tant els voluntaris com els professors
09:55
are deeply committed
225
580000
2000
estan totalment compromesos
09:57
to creating a new generation
226
582000
2000
a educar una nova generació
09:59
of global, green leaders.
227
584000
3000
de líders verds, globals.
10:03
The Green School effect --
228
588000
2000
L'efecte de l'Escola Verda
10:05
we don't know what it is.
229
590000
2000
no sabem quin és.
10:07
We need someone to come and study it.
230
592000
2000
Cal que vingui algú i ho estudiï.
10:09
But what's happening, our learning-different kids --
231
594000
3000
El que sí que passa, els nens amb diferències d'aprenentatge,
10:12
dyslexic --
232
597000
2000
dislèctics,
10:14
we've renamed them prolexic --
233
599000
3000
els hem reanomenat prolèctics,
10:17
are doing well in these beautiful, beautiful classrooms.
234
602000
4000
estan millorant en aquestes aules tan boniques.
10:21
And all the kids are thriving.
235
606000
3000
Tots aquests nens estan prosperant.
10:24
And how did we do all this?
236
609000
2000
I com ho hem aconseguit tot això?
10:26
On giant grass.
237
611000
3000
Amb aquesta planta gegant.
10:29
It's bamboo.
238
614000
2000
El bambú.
10:31
It comes out of the ground like a train.
239
616000
3000
Surt de la terra com un tren,
10:34
It grows as high as a coconut tree in two months
240
619000
3000
es fa tan alt com un cocoter en dos mesos,
10:38
and three years later it can be harvested
241
623000
2000
i al cap de tres anys ja es pot tallar
10:40
to build buildings like this.
242
625000
2000
per construir edificis com aquest.
10:42
It's as strong and dense as teak
243
627000
4000
És tan resistent i dens com la teca.
10:46
and it will hold up any roof.
244
631000
3000
Pot aguantar qualsevol sostre.
10:50
When the architects came, they brought us these things,
245
635000
3000
Quan van venir els arquitectes, ens van portar això.
10:53
and you've probably seen things like this.
246
638000
2000
Segurament, n'haureu vist de semblants.
10:55
The yellow box was called the administration complex.
247
640000
3000
La caixa groga l'anomenaven el complex administratiu.
10:58
(Laughter)
248
643000
2000
(Riuen)
11:00
We squashed it, we rethought it,
249
645000
3000
Ho vam descartar i vam reinventar-ho,
11:03
but mainly we renamed it
250
648000
3000
però sobretot, ho vam rebatejar
11:06
"the heart of school,"
251
651000
2000
com el "cor de l'escola".
11:08
and that changed everything forever.
252
653000
2000
I allò va canviar les coses per sempre.
11:10
It's a double helix.
253
655000
2000
Es tracta d'una hèlix doble.
11:12
It has administrators in it
254
657000
2000
on hi ha oficines
11:14
and many, many other things.
255
659000
2000
i moltes, moltíssimes altres coses.
11:16
And the problem of building it --
256
661000
2000
Vam tenir problemes en construir-lo,
11:18
when the Balinese workers
257
663000
2000
quan els obrers balinesos
11:20
saw long reams of plans,
258
665000
3000
van veure un munt de plànols,
11:23
they looked at them and said, "What's this?"
259
668000
3000
se'ls van mirar i van dir: "Això què és?"
11:26
So we built big models.
260
671000
2000
Així doncs, vam construir unes maquetes grans
11:28
We had them engineered by the engineers.
261
673000
3000
que havien dissenyat enginyers.
11:31
And Balinese carpenters like this
262
676000
2000
I els fusters balinesos, com aquest,
11:33
measured them with their bamboo rulers,
263
678000
3000
ho van medir amb regles de bambú,
11:36
selected the bamboo and built the buildings
264
681000
3000
van seleccionar el bambú i van construir els edificis
11:39
using age-old techniques,
265
684000
3000
utilitzant tècniques antigues,
11:42
mostly by hand.
266
687000
3000
la major part a mà.
11:45
It was chaos.
267
690000
3000
Era un caos.
11:48
And the Balinese carpenters want to be as modern as we do,
268
693000
3000
Tant els fusters balinesos com nosaltres volíem que fos ben modern
11:51
so they use metal scaffolding
269
696000
3000
i van utilitzar una bastida metàl·lica
11:54
to build the bamboo building
270
699000
3000
per construir un edifici de bambú.
11:57
and when the scaffolding came down,
271
702000
3000
Quan vam desmuntar la bastida
12:02
we realized that we had a cathedral,
272
707000
3000
ens en vam adonar que teníem una catedral,
12:05
a cathedral to green,
273
710000
2000
una catedral de l'ecologia
12:07
and a cathedral to green education.
274
712000
3000
i una catedral de l'educació verda.
12:10
The heart of school has seven kilometers
275
715000
2000
El cor de l'escola té 7 km
12:12
of bamboo in it.
276
717000
2000
de bambú.
12:14
From the time the foundations were finished,
277
719000
2000
Des que van acabar els fonaments,
12:16
in three months it had roofs and floors.
278
721000
3000
en tres mesos ja tenia sostres i terres.
12:19
It may not be the biggest bamboo building in the world,
279
724000
3000
Potser no és l'edifici de bambú més gran del món,
12:22
but many people believe
280
727000
2000
però molta gent creu
12:24
that it's the most beautiful.
281
729000
3000
que és el més bonic.
12:27
Is this doable in your community?
282
732000
3000
Això és factible a la vostra comunitat?
12:30
We believe it is.
283
735000
2000
Creiem que sí.
12:32
Green School is a model we built for the world.
284
737000
3000
L'Escola Verda és un model que hem construït pel món.
12:35
It's a model we built for Bali.
285
740000
3000
És un model que hem construït per Bali.
12:38
And you just have to follow these simple, simple rules:
286
743000
3000
Només heu de seguir aquestes normes tan simples:
12:41
be local,
287
746000
2000
sigueu locals,
12:43
let the environment lead
288
748000
2000
deixeu que el medi ambient mani
12:45
and think about
289
750000
2000
i penseu
12:47
how your grandchildren might build.
290
752000
4000
de quina manera podran construir els vostres néts.
12:51
So, Mr. Gore, thank you.
291
756000
3000
Així doncs, Sr. Gore, gràcies.
12:54
You ruined my life,
292
759000
2000
M'ha arruïnat la vida
12:56
but you gave me an incredible future.
293
761000
3000
però m'ha regalat un futur increïble.
12:59
And if you're interested in being involved
294
764000
2000
Si esteu interessats en col·laborar
13:01
in finishing Green School
295
766000
3000
en acabar l'Escola Verda
13:04
and building the next 50 around the world,
296
769000
2000
i construir les properes 50 a tot el món,
13:06
please come and see us.
297
771000
2000
veniu a visitar-nos.
13:08
Thank you.
298
773000
2000
Gràcies.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
John Hardy - Designer, educatorJewelry designer John Hardy co-founded the extraordinary Green School in Bali, where kids get a holistic and green education.
Why you should listen
After selling his jewelry company in 2007, John Hardy and his wife, Cynthia, endowed a thrilling new project: the Green School in Bali. At the Green School, kids learn in open-air classrooms surrounded by acres of gardens that they tend; they learn to build with bamboo; and meanwhile they're being prepared for traditional British school exams. The school is international -- 20 percent of students are Bali locals, some on scholarship. The centerpiece of the campus is the spiraling Heart of School, which may be called Asia's largest bamboo building.
Hardy has long been an advocate of the use of bamboo as an alternative to timber for building and reforestation. When running his company, Hardy pioneered a program of sustainable advertising that offset the carbon emissions associated with the yearly corporate print advertising by planting bamboo on the island of Nusa Penida in a cooperative plantation.
