Here is a short clip on self-sufficiency and living off the land in a Russian eco- village.
"If man lives in a natural environment he can become a spiritual being. In the city he becomes a robot. It's only nature that man becomes man."
So says Anatoly Molchanov, who moved with his child and wife to a settlement in Rodnoe, Russia.
Author Vladimir Megre says: "People in the eco-village don't rely on the state. Anyone is able to build a house for themselves (out of natural materials) without a mortgage.
"We are not hippies. We just want to live with the natural resources we've been given."
