The Solar Village is a documentary video that explores how we can create sustainable communities. Rather than discuss these workable ideas in the abstract this documentary takes you to the people who are making the modern world work on solar power today. Beyond renewable energy the people of Freiburg Germany show us how to build large scale solar apartment houses, privately financed wind parks, and zero emissions factories (that can even produce solar panels). In this documentary you will meet the people, planners and politicians who are making it happen.
The documentary video is available for free through the website. A new teacher's guide has been added to the website and is also available for download.
