2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,680
We came here in the early 80's,

3
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,960
and this land was a flat tomato field. There was no water.

4
00:00:07,473 --> 00:00:10,326
There were no palm trees. We planted hundreds of palm trees,

5
00:00:10,553 --> 00:00:12,960
and we made a little paradise here.

6
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:15,280
We put up new buildings,

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,520
waterways,

8
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:17,880
lakes,

9
00:00:18,153 --> 00:00:19,186
flowers,

10
00:00:19,493 --> 00:00:21,006
fruit, vegetables,

11
00:00:21,150 --> 00:00:22,473
growing on the land.

12
00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:27,013
We laid out this land to show what the outskirts of Jacque's cities may look like.

13
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,020
We have a wide variety of animal life.

14
00:00:30,173 --> 00:00:32,020
We have alligators,

15
00:00:32,253 --> 00:00:33,273
deer,

16
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:34,740
otters,

17
00:00:36,573 --> 00:00:37,593
raccoon.

18
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,773
We have owls and many different birds.

19
00:00:42,026 --> 00:00:44,486
This is a migratory path for birds.

20
00:00:46,066 --> 00:00:48,100
And we have these dome structures.

21
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,673
One of the students: "I don't know if I want to live in a dome."

22
00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:54,613
You're always in a dome! Your brain is in a dome now.

23
00:00:54,990 --> 00:00:57,700
It's the most efficient shape that evolution has evolved.

24
00:00:58,173 --> 00:00:59,326
A dome is strong.

25
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:01,600
In a hurricane you loose no shingles.

26
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,400
It is fireproof, you have no termite sprays.

27
00:01:04,533 --> 00:01:07,413
Termites break their jaws chewing on a concrete dome.

28
00:01:07,653 --> 00:01:09,846
So, you don't have all the problems that you have-...

29
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,560
Look, the environmentalists say

30
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,226
"Stop cutting down the forest,"

31
00:01:13,346 --> 00:01:15,426
but ninety percent of them live in wooden houses!

32
00:01:16,546 --> 00:01:18,660
So, if you stop cutting down the forest,

33
00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:21,053
let the forest be, and use concrete-

34
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,326
Look at the Sahara desert:

35
00:01:22,433 --> 00:01:24,446
all the sand and silica you can use!

36
00:01:24,739 --> 00:01:27,519
We've got enough building material without touching nature.

37
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,306
We can do all that, and we can do it fast.

38
00:01:30,420 --> 00:01:31,466
In our time.
