I straight up borrowed this book from Wiley because he said he thought I'd like it. Gaviotas is an intentional community in Columbia whose purpose started out as a partial solution to the population problems in Columbia and partial land/science experiment. One of it's main purpose's in 25+ years that it has been around is to collaborate with scientists, engineers, agronomists, and all kinds in the industrial world to create cheap, environmentally sustainable technology for "third world" countries. This means windmills/water pumps, solar energy for everything (cooking, heating water, etc), and a general practice of using any natural products around them in sustainable ways. Some how all these good earth vibes and creativity created a peaceful human environment as well. Imagine that.

Alright. Check out what they've been up to since they almost succeeded implementing their solar powered everything into Columbia's plan for energy (but they failed cause the country's political climate got even heavier at that exact same time than the past decades of guerilla and faction warfare).
