Cuba
There was a great show on CBC tonight. I wish I had recorded it. It was a David Suzuki "The Nature of Things" special on Cuba. To make a long story short, he described how Cuba has basically turned to environmental methods to produce it's own food supply due to the fact that there were no other options as machinery and chemicals were unavailable because of the fall of the Soviet Union. There's a lot more to it but that's the short version. It pretty much confirmed my ideas that a self-sufficent utopia is actually possible - gotta run and start planning my commune!!
