I grew up
0
0
2000
我在加拿大的
00:17
in a very small village in Canada,
1
2000
3000
一所小村庄长大,
00:20
and I'm an undiagnosed
2
5000
3000
同时我也有未确疹的
00:23
dyslexic.
3
8000
2000
阅读障碍症.
00:25
I had a really hard time in school.
4
10000
3000
所以我在上学时相当的困难。
00:28
In fact, my mother told me eventually
5
13000
2000
确切地说, 我母亲最后告诉我
00:30
that I was the little kid in the village
6
15000
2000
我是村里那个
00:32
who cried all the way to school.
7
17000
3000
总是一路哭着到学校的小孩儿.
00:37
I ran away.
8
22000
2000
我选择了离开.
00:39
I left when I was 25 years old to go to Bali,
9
24000
3000
25岁的时候我去了巴厘岛.
00:44
and there I met my incredible wife, Cynthia,
10
29000
3000
在那儿我遇到了我那不可思议的妻子, Cynthia,
00:47
and together, over 20 years,
11
32000
3000
并在一起20多年了.
00:50
we built an amazing jewelry business.
12
35000
3000
我们创立了一个令人惊羡的珠宝业.
00:53
It was a fairy tale, and then we retired.
13
38000
3000
就象个童话, 接着我们退休了.
00:56
Then she took me to see a film
14
41000
2000
之后她带我去看了部电影
00:58
that I really didn't want to see.
15
43000
3000
我实际上不想看的.
01:01
It ruined my life --
16
46000
3000
它毁了我的人生 --
01:04
(Laughter)
17
49000
2000
(一阵笑声)
01:06
"The Inconvenient Truth" and Mr. Gore.
18
51000
3000
"难以忽视的真相” 还有戈尔先生.
01:09
I have four kids,
19
54000
3000
我有四个孩子,
01:12
and even if part of what he says is true,
20
57000
3000
即使他所说的只有一部分是真的,
01:15
they're not going to have the life that I had.
21
60000
3000
他们也不会拥有我曾经有过的生活.
01:19
And I decided at that moment
22
64000
3000
在那一刻, 我做了决定
01:22
that I would spend the rest of my life
23
67000
3000
我将用我的余生
01:25
doing whatever I could
24
70000
3000
尽我所能
01:28
to improve their possibilities.
25
73000
3000
去增加他们的机会.
01:32
So here's the world,
26
77000
2000
这是全世界,
01:34
and here we are in Bali.
27
79000
3000
这里是我们的所在地, 巴厘岛.
01:37
It's a tiny, little island --
28
82000
2000
它是个极小、极小的小岛 --
01:39
60 miles by 90 miles.
29
84000
2000
60英里乘90英里.
01:41
It has an intact Hindu culture.
30
86000
3000
岛上的文化是原汁原味的印度教。
01:44
Cynthia and I were there.
31
89000
2000
Cynthia 和我曾经住在那儿.
01:46
We had had a wonderful life there,
32
91000
3000
在那里我们曾经过着完美的生活,
01:49
and we decided to do something unusual.
33
94000
3000
然后我们决定做点儿与众不同的事情.
01:52
We decided to give back
34
97000
3000
我们决定回馈给
01:55
locally.
35
100000
2000
当地的人.
01:57
And here it is: it's called the Green School.
36
102000
3000
这就是, 绿色环保学校.
02:00
I know it doesn't look like a school,
37
105000
2000
我知道它看上去不像个学校,
02:02
but it is something we decided to do,
38
107000
3000
但这是我们所决定做的,
02:05
and it is extremely,
39
110000
2000
而且它非常,
02:07
extremely green.
40
112000
3000
非常环保.
02:10
The classrooms have no walls.
41
115000
3000
教室之间没有墙.
02:13
The teacher is writing on a bamboo blackboard.
42
118000
3000
教师在竹制的黑板上教课.
02:16
The desks are not square.
43
121000
3000
书桌不是方的.
02:19
At Green School, the children are smiling --
44
124000
3000
在绿色环保学校里, 孩子们都在笑 --
02:22
an unusual thing for school, especially for me.
45
127000
3000
这是在学校里一件不寻常的事请, 尤其是对我而言.
02:25
And we practice holism.
46
130000
3000
而且我们实践整体论.
02:28
And for me it's just the idea
47
133000
2000
对我来说这就是个想法,
02:30
that, if this little girl
48
135000
2000
如果一个小女孩,
02:32
graduates as a whole person,
49
137000
2000
发展成一个完整的人,
02:34
chances are
50
139000
2000
很有可能
02:36
she'll demand a whole world --
51
141000
2000
她需要靠整个世界 --
02:38
a whole world --
52
143000
2000
整个世界 --
02:40
to live on.
53
145000
2000
为生.
02:42
Our children spend 181 days
54
147000
3000
我们的孩子们花181天
02:45
going to school in a box.
55
150000
3000
在这个盒子里上学.
02:48
The people that built my school
56
153000
2000
建造我学校的人
02:50
also built the prison and the insane asylum
57
155000
3000
同时也用同样的材料
02:53
out of the same materials.
58
158000
3000
建造了监狱和疯人院。
02:58
So if this gentleman
59
163000
2000
所以, 如果这位先生
03:00
had had a holistic education,
60
165000
2000
接受过全人教育,
03:02
would he be sitting there?
61
167000
2000
他还会坐在这儿吗?
03:04
Would he have had more possibilities in his life?
62
169000
3000
他会有更多的机遇吗?
03:09
The classrooms have natural light.
63
174000
2000
教室采用自然光。
03:11
They're beautiful. They're bamboo.
64
176000
3000
它们很美. 它们是竹子.
03:14
The breeze passes through them.
65
179000
2000
微风从中穿过.
03:16
And when the natural breeze isn't enough,
66
181000
3000
当天然的微风不够时,
03:19
the kids deploy bubbles,
67
184000
2000
孩子们就会放泡泡,
03:21
but not the kind of bubbles you know.
68
186000
2000
不过不是你所想的那种泡泡.
03:23
These bubbles are made from natural cotton
69
188000
2000
这些气泡是由天然棉花和
03:25
and rubber from the rubber tree.
70
190000
3000
来自橡胶树的橡胶做成的.
03:28
So we basically turned the box
71
193000
2000
所以我们基本上把这个盒子变成了
03:30
into a bubble.
72
195000
2000
一个泡泡.
03:32
And these kids know
73
197000
2000
而且这些孩子们懂得
03:34
that painless climate control
74
199000
3000
不费力的气候控制
03:37
may not be
75
202000
2000
可能不是
03:39
part of their future.
76
204000
2000
他们未来的一部分.
03:42
We pay the bill at the end of the month,
77
207000
2000
我们每个月底付账单,
03:44
but the people that are really going to pay the bill
78
209000
2000
但是真正付账单的人
03:46
are our grandchildren.
79
211000
2000
是我们的子孙.
03:49
We have to teach the kids
80
214000
2000
我们要教给孩子们
03:51
that the world is not indestructible.
81
216000
3000
世界不是不可毁灭的.
03:56
These kids did a little graffiti on their desks,
82
221000
3000
这几个孩子在书桌上画了些涂鸦,
03:59
and then they signed up for two extra courses.
83
224000
3000
那他们得多上两门课.
04:02
The first one was called sanding
84
227000
3000
第一门叫砂纸打磨.
04:05
and the second one was called re-waxing.
85
230000
3000
第二门叫再次上蜡.
04:08
But since that happened,
86
233000
3000
但自从那件事,
04:11
they own those desks.
87
236000
3000
他们拥有了那些书桌.
04:14
They know they can control their world.
88
239000
3000
他们知道他们可以掌控他们的世界.
04:18
We're on the grid. We're not proud of it.
89
243000
3000
我们用电网; 我们不引以为荣.
04:21
But an amazing alternative energy company in Paris
90
246000
3000
但一个了不起的巴黎能源替代公司
04:24
is taking us off the grid with solar.
91
249000
3000
将帮我们用太阳能替代了电网.
04:27
And this thing
92
252000
2000
还有这个东西,
04:29
is the second vortex to be built in the world,
93
254000
3000
是世界上即将建造的第二个涡轮发电机,
04:32
in a two-and-a-half meter drop on a river.
94
257000
3000
在高达2.5米落差的一条河中.
04:35
When the turbine drops in,
95
260000
2000
当涡轮机降入时,
04:37
it will produce 8,000 watts of electricity,
96
262000
2000
它会产8,000瓦的电力,
04:39
day and night.
97
264000
2000
不分昼夜。
04:41
And you know what these are.
98
266000
2000
你们知道这些是什么.
04:43
There's nowhere to flush.
99
268000
2000
这里没地方冲厕所.
04:45
And as long as we're taking our waste
100
270000
2000
但是只要我们把废料
04:47
and mixing it with a huge amount of water --
101
272000
2000
和大量的水混在一起 --
04:49
you're all really smart, just do the math.
102
274000
3000
你们都很聪明, 算算吧.
04:52
How many people times how much water.
103
277000
2000
多少个人乘以多少水.
04:54
There isn't enough water.
104
279000
2000
根本没有足够的水.
04:56
These are compost toilets,
105
281000
2000
这些是堆肥厕所.
04:58
and nobody at the school wanted to know about them,
106
283000
3000
学校里没人想知道它们.
05:01
especially the principal.
107
286000
2000
特别是校长.
05:04
And they work. People use them. People are okay.
108
289000
3000
但是它们管用; 大家会使用它们, 而且大家都没问题.
05:07
It's something you should think about doing.
109
292000
3000
你们也应该考虑一下这么做.
05:11
Not many things didn't work.
110
296000
3000
没有很多东西不管用.
05:14
The beautiful canvas and rubber skylights
111
299000
3000
漂亮的的帆布和橡胶天窗
05:17
got eaten by the sun in six months.
112
302000
2000
在六个月内就被太阳毁掉了.
05:19
We had to replace them with recyclable plastic.
113
304000
3000
我们只得换上可循环再用的塑料.
05:23
The teachers dragged giant PVC whiteboards
114
308000
3000
教师们拖着巨大的聚氯乙烯白板
05:26
into the classrooms.
115
311000
2000
进入教室,
05:28
So we had some good ideas:
116
313000
2000
我们有些好点子.
05:30
we took old automobile windshields, put paper behind them
117
315000
3000
我们找来些旧的挡风玻璃, 把纸铁在背后
05:33
and created the first alternative
118
318000
2000
就做成了白板的
05:35
to the whiteboard.
119
320000
2000
第一个替代品.
05:39
Green School sits in south-central Bali,
120
324000
3000
绿色环保学校位于巴厘岛中南方,
05:42
and it's on 20 acres
121
327000
2000
在一个有20英亩那么大的
05:44
of rolling garden.
122
329000
2000
延绵起伏的花园里.
05:46
There's an amazing river traveling through it,
123
331000
3000
还有一条壮丽的河流穿过,
05:49
and you can see there
124
334000
2000
你们可以从这儿看到
05:51
how we manage to get across the river.
125
336000
3000
我们是怎么过河的.
05:54
I met a father the other day; he looked a little crazed.
126
339000
3000
有一天我接待了一位父亲, 他看起来有点疯狂.
05:57
I said, "Welcome to Green School."
127
342000
2000
我说, "欢迎来到绿色学校."
05:59
He said, "I've been on an airplane for 24 hours."
128
344000
3000
他说, "我在飞机上待了24个小时."
06:03
I asked him, "Why?"
129
348000
3000
我问他, "为什么?"
06:06
He said, "I had a dream once about a green school,
130
351000
3000
他说, "我曾有过一个关于绿色学校的梦,
06:09
and I saw a picture of this green school,
131
354000
2000
然后我看到一张这所绿色学校的照片,
06:11
I got on an airplane.
132
356000
2000
我就上飞机了.
06:13
In August I'm bringing my sons."
133
358000
3000
八月份我将带我的儿子们来."
06:16
This was a great thing.
134
361000
2000
这是个了不起的事情.
06:18
But more than that,
135
363000
2000
但更重要的是,
06:20
people are building green houses around Green School,
136
365000
3000
大家在绿色学校周围建起绿色房屋,
06:23
so their kids can walk to school on the paths.
137
368000
3000
这样一来他们的孩子们可以走路上学.
06:27
And people are bringing their green industries,
138
372000
2000
人们还带上了他们的绿色工业,
06:29
hopefully their green restaurants,
139
374000
2000
希望还有他们的绿色餐饮业,
06:31
to the Green School.
140
376000
2000
到绿色学校来.
06:33
It's becoming a community.
141
378000
2000
这里变成了一个社区.
06:35
It's becoming a green model.
142
380000
3000
变成了一个绿色环保的模范社区.
06:38
We had to look at everything.
143
383000
2000
我们得注意每一件事.
06:40
No petrochemicals in the pavement.
144
385000
2000
铺过的路面不能有石油化学产品.
06:42
No pavement.
145
387000
2000
没有铺过的路.
06:44
These are volcanic stones laid by hand.
146
389000
2000
这些是用手铺的火山石。
06:46
There are no sidewalks.
147
391000
2000
没有人行道.
06:48
The sidewalks are gravel. They flood when it rains,
148
393000
3000
人行道全是碎石路, 下雨时会淹.
06:51
but they're green.
149
396000
2000
但它们绿色环保.
06:53
This is the school buffalo.
150
398000
2000
这是学校的水牛.
06:57
He's planning to eat that fence for dinner.
151
402000
3000
它正计划把那栅栏当晚餐.
07:00
All the fences at Green School are green.
152
405000
2000
所有绿色学校的栅栏都是绿色环保的.
07:02
And when the kindergarten kids
153
407000
2000
最近当学前班的孩子们
07:04
recently moved their gate,
154
409000
2000
搬动了他们的大门
07:06
they found out the fence was made out of tapioca.
155
411000
3000
他们发现栅栏是用木薯做的.
07:09
They took the tapioca roots up to the kitchen,
156
414000
3000
他们把木薯根带回厨房,
07:12
sliced them thinly and made delicious chips.
157
417000
3000
切成薄片然后做成美味的木薯片.
07:15
Landscaping.
158
420000
3000
景观美化
07:18
We manage to keep the garden that was there
159
423000
2000
我们想办法保留住在每个教室周围已经存在的
07:20
running right up to the edge of each of the classrooms.
160
425000
3000
花园。
07:23
We dropped them gently in.
161
428000
2000
我们轻轻的把它们放进来.
07:25
We made space for these guys
162
430000
3000
我们为这些家伙创造了空间
07:28
who are Bali's last black pigs.
163
433000
3000
这些巴厘岛上最后的黑猪.
07:32
And the school cow
164
437000
2000
还有学校的母牛
07:34

2000
生在一个以水稻为生的文化中,
07:44
but they know something that few people know in a rice culture.
170
449000

07:56
and these skills will be valuable
175
461000
2000
而且这将是她们在未来的
07:58
for them in their future.
176
463000

绿色学校是个先行者的所在地,
08:25
local and global.
185
490000
2000
在地方上和全球上.
08:27
And it's a kind of microcosm
186
492000
2000
它也是一种全球化世界
08:29
of the globalized world.
187
494000
2000
的缩影.
08:31
The kids are from 25 countries.

2000
有160个孩子.
08:45
It's a school where you do learn reading --
194
510000
2000
它是个你可以学习阅读 --
08:47
one of my favorites --
195
512000
2000
我的最爱之一 --
08:49
writing -- I was bad at it --
196
514000
2000
写作 -- 虽然我很不擅长 --
08:51
arithmetic.
197
516000
2000
算术.
08:53
But you also learn other things.
198
518000
2000
但你也能学到其他的东西.
08:55
You learn bamboo building.
199
520000
2000
你会学会用竹子建造.
08:57
You practice
200
522000
2000
你会练习
08:59
ancient Balinese arts.
201
524000
2000
古老的巴厘艺术.
09:01
This is called mud wrestling in the rice fields.
202
526000
3000
这叫做水稻田里的泥巴摔跤.
09:04
The kids love it.
203
529000
2000
孩子们爱死它了.
09:06
The mothers aren't quite convinced.
204
531000
2000
虽然他们的母亲们尚未被说服.
09:08
(Laughter)
205
533000
2000
(一阵笑声)
09:10
We've done a lot of outrageous things in our lives,
206
535000
2000
我们一生中做过很多令人惊讶的事情,
09:12
and we said, okay, local, what does "local" mean?
207
537000
3000
接着我们说, 好吧, 当地. 当地是什么意思?
09:15
Local means
208
540000
2000
当地的意思是
09:17
that 20 percent of the population of the school
209
542000
2000
学校里20%的人
09:19
has to be Balinese,
210
544000
2000
必须是巴厘岛人.
09:21
and this was a really big commitment.
211
546000
2000
这是个很大的承诺.
09:23
And we were right.
212
548000
2000
但我们是正确的.
09:25
And people are coming forward
213
550000
2000
大家都从世界各地
09:27
from all over the world
214
552000
3000
纷纷前来
09:30
to support the Balinese Scholarship Fund,
215
555000
3000
援助巴厘岛人奖学金,
09:33
because these kids will be Bali's next green leaders.
216
558000
4000
因为这些孩子将成为巴厘岛下一代的绿色环保带头人.
09:37
The teachers are as diverse
217
562000
2000
教师们也是同样的多元化,
09:39
as the student body,
218
564000
2000
和学生一样.
09:41
and the amazing thing
219
566000
2000
激动人心的事是
09:43
is that volunteers are popping up.
220
568000
2000
志愿者不断的涌现出来.
09:45
A man came from Java
221
570000
2000
一名来自爪哇的男子
09:47
with a new kind of organic agriculture.
222
572000
2000
带来一种新的有机农艺.
09:49
A woman came from Africa with music.
223
574000
3000
一位来自非洲的女子带来了音乐.
09:52
And together these volunteers and the teachers
224
577000
3000
这些教师和志愿者们
09:55
are deeply committed
225
580000
2000
有着坚定的信念
09:57
to creating a new generation
226
582000
2000
要创造新一代的
09:59
of global, green leaders.
227
584000
3000
全球性的, 绿色环保的领袖人物.
10:03
The Green School effect --
228
588000
2000
绿色学校效应 --
10:05
we don't know what it is.
229
590000
2000
我们不知道具体是什么.
10:07
We need someone to come and study it.
230
592000
2000
我们需要有人来研究它.
10:09
But what's happening, our learning-different kids --
231
594000
3000
但事实上, 学习方式不同的孩子们 --
10:12
dyslexic --
232
597000
2000
阅读困难症 --
10:14
we've renamed them prolexic --
233
599000
3000
我们重新给他们起名为强化阅读 --
10:17
are doing well in these beautiful, beautiful classrooms.
234
602000
4000
在这些非常美丽的课堂里学得很棒.
10:21
And all the kids are thriving.
235
606000
3000
所有的孩子们都在茁壮成长.
10:24
And how did we do all this?
236
609000
2000
我们是怎么做到的呢?
10:26
On giant grass.
237
611000
3000
利用巨大的草.
10:29
It's bamboo.
238
614000
2000
那就是竹子.
10:31
It comes out of the ground like a train.
239
616000
3000
它就像火车一样从地里冲出来.
10:34
It grows as high as a coconut tree in two months
240
619000
3000
它能在两个月内长得和椰子树一样高.
10:38
and three years later it can be harvested
241
623000
2000
而且三年后就可以采割
10:40
to build buildings like this.
242
625000
2000
用来造这样的建筑.
10:42
It's as strong and dense as teak
243
627000
4000
它和柚木一样结实, 密集.
10:46
and it will hold up any roof.
244
631000
3000
可以支撑起任何屋顶.
10:50
When the architects came, they brought us these things,
245
635000
3000
当建筑师来后, 他们带来了这些东西,
10:53
and you've probably seen things like this.
246
638000
2000
你们可能见过类似的东西.
10:55
The yellow box was called the administration complex.
247
640000
3000
这个黄色的盒子叫行政办公区.
10:58
(Laughter)
248
643000
2000
(一阵笑声)
11:00
We squashed it, we rethought it,
249
645000
3000
我们把它压扁了, 重新考虑了一下,
11:03
but mainly we renamed it
250
648000
3000
但主要是我们给它改名 --
11:06
"the heart of school,"
251
651000
2000
学校之心.
11:08
and that changed everything forever.
252
653000
2000
这永远地改变了一切。
11:10
It's a double helix.
253
655000
2000
它是个双螺旋体.
11:12
It has administrators in it
254
657000
2000
里面有行政机关
11:14
and many, many other things.
255
659000
2000
还有许多其它东西.
11:16
And the problem of building it --
256
661000
2000
建造它的难处在于 --
11:18
when the Balinese workers
257
663000
2000
当巴厘岛工人们
11:20
saw long reams of plans,
258
665000
3000
看到长幅的设计图,
11:23
they looked at them and said, "What's this?"
259
668000
3000
他们看着设计图说, "这是什么?"
11:26
So we built big models.
260
671000
2000
所以我们造了大型的模型.
11:28
We had them engineered by the engineers.
261
673000
3000
由工程师来策划和建造.
11:31
And Balinese carpenters like this
262
676000
2000
巴厘岛的木工喜欢这个方法
11:33
measured them with their bamboo rulers,
263
678000
3000
用竹尺子来衡量,
11:36
selected the bamboo and built the buildings
264
681000
3000
挑竹子来造建筑
11:39
using age-old techniques,
265
684000
3000
利用古老的技术,
11:42
mostly by hand.
266
687000
3000
大部分用手工。
11:45
It was chaos.
267
690000
3000
那真是一片乱.
11:48
And the Balinese carpenters want to be as modern as we do,
268
693000
3000
巴厘岛的木工想和我们一样现代化,
11:51
so they use metal scaffolding
269
696000
3000
所以他们用金属棚架来
11:54
to build the bamboo building
270
699000
3000
造竹制建筑.
11:57
and when the scaffolding came down,
271
702000
3000
当浮架撤掉后,
12:02
we realized that we had a cathedral,
272
707000
3000
我们发现我们建了个天主教堂,
12:05
a cathedral to green,
273
710000
2000
一个绿色环保的天主教堂,
12:07
and a cathedral to green education.
274
712000
3000
一个绿色环保教育的天主教堂。
12:10
The heart of school has seven kilometers
275
715000
2000
学校之心共用了七千米的
12:12
of bamboo in it.
276
717000
2000
的竹子.
12:14
From the time the foundations were finished,
277
719000
2000
从地基完成时算起,
12:16
in three months it had roofs and floors.
278
721000
3000
三个月内就建成了地板和屋顶.
12:19
It may not be the biggest bamboo building in the world,
279
724000
3000
它可能不是世界上最大的竹制建筑,
12:22
but many people believe
280
727000
2000
但很多人相信
12:24
that it's the most beautiful.
281
729000
3000
它是最美的.
12:27
Is this doable in your community?
282
732000
3000
这在你的社区里可行吗?
12:30
We believe it is.
283
735000
2000
我们相信是可以的.
12:32
Green School is a model we built for the world.
284
737000
3000
绿色学校是我们为全世界建的模型.
12:35
It's a model we built for Bali.
285
740000
3000
是我们为巴厘岛造的模型.
12:38
And you just have to follow these simple, simple rules:
286
743000
3000
你们仅仅需要照搬这些简单的方案:
12:41
be local,
287
746000
2000
从当地情况出发,
12:43
let the environment lead
288
748000
2000
让环境带头
12:45
and think about
289
750000
2000
再想想
12:47
how your grandchildren might build.
290
752000
4000
你的孙辈会怎样建造.
12:51
So, Mr. Gore, thank you.
291
756000
3000
所以, 戈尔先生, 谢谢你.
12:54
You ruined my life,
292
759000
2000
你毁了我的生活,
12:56
but you gave me an incredible future.
293
761000
3000
但你给予了我一个美丽的未来.
12:59
And if you're interested in being involved
294
764000
2000
如果你感兴趣, 想参与
13:01
in finishing Green School
295
766000
3000
完成建造绿色学校
13:04
and building the next 50 around the world,
296
769000
2000
以及在世界范围内接着建造50个，
13:06
please come and see us.
297
771000
2000
请来我们这里参观.
13:08
Thank you.
298
773000
2000
谢谢.
13:10

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.
