In their famous 1984 song “Do they know it’s Christimas” the artists united in Band Aid to raise money for Africa, described the continent as a place “where nothing ever grows.” Have you ever watched a film from a very warm place, like in Africa or India, and though to yourself that nothing can ever grow there? Think again. In this amazing video with permaculture founder Bill Mollison you will see that things can, and indeed do, grow in such places.

In the “Must see” category we pick out interesting and inspiring videos that we find on the video sharing sites, mainly YouTube, showing people who are in general not associated with GLI, but do things that we believe our readers will enjoy watching.
