Yes, it is a good idea. One thing that would be helpful would be to lower the volume of the background music or not use it as it is unnecessary and interferes with the narration.
@@theflowofstreetwall576 So? What does that have to do with anything? The subject here is old ways vs modern ways. Are you a little obsessed with Europeans?
They are reconnecting their lost roots to their ancient city, before the conquistadors. Using the same kind of mindset and ingenuity the ancients used to grow crops and reuse waste efficiently and effectively. The ancients have so much to teach us moderns still.
Omg no, we are not reconnecting. I'm Mexican, I live in Mexico city (cdmx) and this video is lacking a lot of context: La Roma is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods of the city, full of hipster bars, coffee shops, international brand's business, over prized appartmens, etc. So, this is most like a hippie-new-age-park designed for rich people enjoyment. Mexican environmental activists are getting killed every week, I mean, the really compromised ones, due to turfwar against the narco (who is burning forests and jungles in order to make place for avocado), foreign corporations, and government's crazy projects.

Yes the general population consumes & produces more waste than we can recycle. This posting is a great example of how a populated city can reclaim itself & flourish from awareness in the cycle of an environment👍...thank you! Hopefully it will spread worldwide.
Definately intertwining both modern and tradational knowledge can work very well! Are you looking to get in touch with the project directly, they have a website, recommend you check it out!
Mexico City definitely needs to become greener. Planting more trees would be a good start. And building waste incineration plants and composting facilities. Gardening and farming projects can certainly help to recycle local waste and improve the living quality of a neighborhood.
@@ShawnJonesHellion Water u get in rainy season.. N later the trees roots absorb it from the ground.. Many cities have planted trees alongside roads, so u can plant trees in concrete too.. The roots go deeper and absorb water.. Of course plant in rainy season
The amount of indigenous fundamental life knowledge that was disregarded & lost through colonization is a heartbreaking tragedy. It's wonderful to see the success of this project & know at least some small part of their heritage is being revived. I'm sure we could help heal our world by implementing selective ancient management systems for handling waste, water & food production. Our technology has grown in huge leaps & bounds over the last couple of decades making us constantly seeking the latest upgrade. What we need to focus on now, is upgrading our attitudes, perspectives & intentions concerning these 3 things. Finding equitable, world wide solutions for waste & water management, along with food production that doesn't create problems, should be our priority this century. Moving to Mars can wait. Let's fix things so that as few people as possible lack food, clean water & a roof over their heads.
When people post about magical knowledge then you know they are just spouting mythology and continuous of the noble savage myth. You think empires and colonisation is just part of European history? Why do you think the Spainish were able to conquer so much territory? It was because the conquered people of the Aztec empire joined in attacking them.
@@interestedobserver587 Where did you get the idea i was talking about 'magical knowledge'? This video had nothing to do with that, it's about working cooperatively with nature not against it.
@@animerlon You are the one who played the colonisation card. Permacultural practices of the past have some value and some dont. We dont put sewage black water directly onto food crops because we learnt that that not a healthy practice. We also learnt sleeping the same building as certain livestock is not good practice due to zoological diseases. The the video the mythologising by the presenter spoke of using urine in the past like is was unique. Using urine in dyeing clothes and yarns etc has been done in most cultures. Tweed was fixed by old urea that why historically tweed when wet had an odour. Romans used urine for fabrics and even as mouthwash. This part of Mexico City is afluent and alternative. Recycling and composting are great but if the people are in high density (which town planners love) then heat island effect is very difficult to mitigate.
@@interestedobserver587 He didnt play a 'colonisation card', he just stated the truth, we all have coloniser's blood, dont get so defensive for nothing.
@@animerlon Do people believe that Europeans never lived cooperatively with nature? Or do people mean that the indigenous peoples of the Americas had knowledge specific to those continents?
Soy arquitecta y me estoy enfocado al paisaje precisamente para contribuir a soluciones a la crisis ambiental de está ciudad y es verdad que afortunadamente este interés va llegando a más gente, ya sea por moda o lo que sea pero por lo menos es una ventaja para el mundo
Siempre eh deseado tener un presidente, un gobierno totalmente dedicado a construir un país más verde. Traer la tecnología verde.

I took a connecting flight to Mexico City beautiful place. I’m glad they change things around. I’m sure other countries will follow the same process one day to make the world a healthier place to live.
Nice to see a good story about Mexico. All I hear about Mexico in the U.S. media is Narco Cartel violence, relocation of American factory jobs, and passageway of illegal immigrants. I met a guy from Mexico City on my holiday in Panama and it sounded like a great place to visit. I hope to go in a few years time.
that's the mainstream media that cherry picks what to report on. Can't blame them 100 percent when most people here in the states seem to gravitate towards negativity. a violent tragedy can get millions of views or clicks but a positive story barel gets attention. the other day i saw a news report on a lady in upstate ny hiring special needs young adults so they can be apart of society. only had a few hundred views, while a violent incident caught on camera can get hundreds of thousands of views in a couple hours smh...
Mexico city is not a great place to visit And i know this as a mexican myself If you visit exclusively touristic areas in CDMX i guess it would be a nice trip. But if you visit the real mexico city, the one where most people live (Iztapalapa, Gustavo A. Madero, Tlahuac, Milpa Alta, poor zones in Venustiano Carranza, Coyoacán and Cuatemocetc) then you're probably going to leave my city with a permanent feeling of disgust

Litter is disgusting. People need to take pride in their homes, neighborhood, community and the planet. Reduce, reuse and recycle. The world needs more environmentalists.
Don't forget the first and most important "R": refuse. If you don't buy unnecessary stuff, you don't have to figure out what to do with it. Refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle.
It upsets me when poverty is blamed for polluting. It's disgraceful. My grandparents were dirt poor in NYC in the 1940s and my grandma kept an extremely clean living space. She had 9 kids in a 1 bedroom space, yet she didn't throw her trash out her window, keep a dirty home. She washed her floors so much she wore them down. Poverty is no excuse or we are doomed.
How heartbreaking that the Spanish came in and destroyed a zero waste society and had no appreciation for the incredible accomplishment of the indigenous people. And it was truly an incredible accomplishment.

Chinampas are still used In Xochimilco (south area inside Mexico City), the locals grow their veggies on top of them and most of their produce is sold at the local markets. Cant get any fresher. =)
We have a green bin we I live. The one thing I question is where that ultimately ends up. It is tax payer dollars that fund it and then they get to keep the good for fertilizer they collect. They likely tend to get sold back to the very people who supplied them the materials for their fertilizer. Plus you have to be weary since people do not always use those bins correctly and I highly doubt anyone actually sifts through the materials collected. Even better would be to simply compost your own organic waste. Once you gain a surplus you could distribute or sell the excess to the local communities, etc. At least this way you can reduce your impact and also gain good soil for growing your own food supplies.
many municipalities have green bin (compost) services now where you may put anything biodegradable including undyed paper products, food wastes and yard trimmings. this is a great service for those in small spaces that don't necessarily have space to have a compost bin. if your town doesn't have a green bin program you should campaign to start one!
Thank you for sharing this! it's a great initiative, in México we have a lot of people who had come with great sustainables ideas and projects that sadly have not been supported by the government yet but sharing this information, adds to more visbility of solutions for the ecological problems we're facing. (On the other hand a lot of us (mexicans) are fighting to stop the ecocide cause by the construction of the mayan train, that it's also an issue that needs more visibility)
Very informative, wow, very impressed and coming from Mexico, the present Mexican president changed the location of the international airport, being built before he came to power, to save what was left of the Texcoco lake. There many plans for what they are calling an ecological Park. It will have, l believe 10,000 hectares, it would be worth checking out.
And he built it on the site of the former Zumpango lake, so there wasn’t really any difference. The site of former Texcoco lake has been abandoned and drained for almost 70 years. The airport project was about converting that area into a functional and sustainable one, not only building a simply airport.
Texcoco was once inhabited and used as farm land until Nieto became governor and had the police displace those people by brutal force incarcating many with false charges to solence them
@@el_equidistante is being built over the old train rail, the damage to nature is low compared with the economic benefit that people in the south will obtain, since these are projects from a left government, and the mexican ollygarchy is not profiting they are mad and trying to stop the projects
Thanks for divulge this environmental project with ancient roots from my born city. Actually, still other community/ towns close to Mexico City keep similar traditions. And obviously we need more greening the city projects across the world. Subscribed.
Hello. Thanks for the nice video. I'm Mexican and Mexico City is my hometown. Video title is misleading. You are right that there are nice and green projects as the one shown and others. These great projects are minimal compared to the huge size, population and resources the city consumes on a daily basis. My point is only about the title. Saludos!
Great video! Great story! Needs to be circulated much more widely as it is an example to follow. Of course. living in Mexico City am not surprised; it really is a rather green city, with even green walls on the cities main freeway. BTW, I've been in the US the last few months an d am amazed how many plactic bags contine to be used her in the grocery stores. They were banned in Mexico City and now even the many stores are elminating the bags for produce. So everyone goes to the store with reusable bags. Many enviro-friendly lessons that should be emulated in the US and other higher-CO2 emitting nations!
All these videos needs more likes. 👍 So more people can watch it. Toltecas & Aztecs are amazing. We got lot to learn from 'em. Roma Verde is doing a good job. Excellent Channel Leaf of life films and excellent work.
this is wonderful and such a great idea! i hope more people will start thinking this way and also rather than depending on others to get rid of their wastes, start reducing it at source. this year my city outlawed plastic garbage bags, and its been a great first step. we also now have zero waste stores where you can fill your own containers or baskets, rather than relying on plastic packaging. sacrificing a few minor conveniences for the health of the planet. things can get better if we all do our part 💪🏼
The Huerto Roma is a tiny space for the megalopolis. But more importantly, 85% of Mexico City's surrounding space is used for agriculture. And there's also an important remnant of Xochimilco's chinampas that is still producing a lot of food. So, thanks to the native Mexicans, much of the ancient techniques of agriculture are used to make this city self sufficient on food production.
Is moving forward rapidly ,but was never as bad as even we use to believe, when i was able to travel all over i realize that México city is actually way cleaner and greener that we and the world thinks. Was a shocking and great surprise.
It is slightly embarrassing to find out about this from a foreigner. I live 39 minutes away from there and had never seen it. It brings hope to see this kind of initiatives. Thank you for sharing. Chinampas are one of most clean and efficient forms of agriculture in the world and I'm happy to see it inspiring new ideas regarding such an urgent matter.
Mexico City has changed a great deal since I lived there in the 1980s. I wonder if this process can be incorporated in every subdivision in Mexico City? Large mega cities should consider this alternative waste management system.
Im not from the Mexico City, but from a city on the north-east side of the country. But I'm genuinely glad that all my bro's at "La Capirucha" are getting a better life quality. They deserve it honestly. Viva Mexico cab**nes🇲🇽!!!
This is quite Encouraging for me to learn about. Being from L.A. originally, I've dreamt about visiting Mexico City since I was young. It's currently near the top of my bucket list. 🌎👍😎
Places like Mexico City should take notes from cities in Colorado that have a good zero waste activism. First, by separating the trash bins to make recycling, composting, refurbishing, and burning easier!
Thank you for sharing this video. Its great to see how old knowledge can be blended with the new to solve real life challenges we all face today. Today there is evidence to suggest that many ancient civilizations had better sustainable practices that what we have today. In particular in Sri Lanka where I come from, ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa were great examples. I feel all major cities and built up suburbs should have space allocated for something similar to this project. Most of the issues that arise from waste gets compounded when large amounts get collected into a single location. If it can be processed locally similar to what is shown here, then it supports a more sustainable solution where local community who produces the waste also get a chance to be part of the solution. Also they get a chance to see first hand how their lifestyles are impacting the environment.
Of course this is the sane way forward. I've been composting & teaching composting methods most my life. Growing food in the city needs to be a priority. Neighborhood & downtown gardens to off set the heat, promote beauty & healthy fruits & vegetables. Gardens atop apartment buildings & high-rises of all kinds. Of course real separation of waste products so we can figure out how to deal with each kind. Some bacteria eat plastic & oil. This needs to catch on sooner than later. Cuba has been doing local community gardening in Havana for many years & a good percentage of the population can be fed this way. This cuts the need for transportation costs & produces food sovereignty. It also creates healthy jobs.
Interesting but, sadly, unfocused. The video publicizes the problem of plastics at the beginning (min 0:55) and at the end (min 7:27) but does not present how to solve this problem, it instead focuses on organic waste, which is good, but these are two very different problems with very different solutions.
So what do you think? Do we need more greening the city projects across the world? Let's us know in the comments and we will reply 😊

Chinampas are still used In Xochimilco (south area inside Mexico City), the locals grow their veggies on top of them and most of their produce is sold at the local markets. Cant get any fresher. =)
Every city should be arranged this way.
I love CDMX, glad there’s something being done about the waste
Good to see that city getting back to it's roots.
Wow, impressive!
Very
Arriva Mexico!!!
I quite agree, I've often wondered why we don't have a green bin as well as the two we do have.
We have a green bin we I live. The one thing I question is where that ultimately ends up. It is tax payer dollars that fund it and then they get to keep the good for fertilizer they collect. They likely tend to get sold back to the very people who supplied them the materials for their fertilizer. Plus you have to be weary since people do not always use those bins correctly and I highly doubt anyone actually sifts through the materials collected.
Even better would be to simply compost your own organic waste. Once you gain a surplus you could distribute or sell the excess to the local communities, etc. At least this way you can reduce your impact and also gain good soil for growing your own food supplies.
@@seanregehr4921 I don't see the difference. Do you live in house on a half acre block or in apartment ten stories up off the ground?
@@seanregehr4921 What gets put into your green bin? Glass? Reuable plasics?
many municipalities have green bin (compost) services now where you may put anything biodegradable including undyed paper products, food wastes and yard trimmings. this is a great service for those in small spaces that don't necessarily have space to have a compost bin. if your town doesn't have a green bin program you should campaign to start one!
Geez I really like this project, and your overall project and message in this channel 💚
I’m from Mexico City and yesterday we planted 20 🌳 in my backyard
Beautiful country! ❤️
Thank you for cheering me up today. We must learn and expand these practices to survive.
Amazing project!
Great job Mexico!
All cities in Mexico should follow this ecological plan, specially northern ones that lack both green areas and water
Thank you for sharing this! it's a great initiative, in México we have a lot of people who had come with great sustainables ideas and projects that sadly have not been supported by the government yet but sharing this information, adds to more visbility of solutions for the ecological problems we're facing.
(On the other hand a lot of us (mexicans) are fighting to stop the ecocide cause by the construction of the mayan train, that it's also an issue that needs more visibility)
Very informative, wow, very impressed and coming from Mexico, the present Mexican president changed the location of the international airport, being built before he came to power, to save what was left of the Texcoco lake. There many plans for what they are calling an ecological Park. It will have, l believe 10,000 hectares, it would be worth checking out.
And he built it on the site of the former Zumpango lake, so there wasn’t really any difference. The site of former Texcoco lake has been abandoned and drained for almost 70 years. The airport project was about converting that area into a functional and sustainable one, not only building a simply airport.
Texcoco was once inhabited and used as farm land until Nieto became governor and had the police displace those people by brutal force incarcating many with false charges to solence them
Don't lie you conservative imperialist neoliberal waste of human HE BUILD IT I A FORMER MILITARY BASE NOW SHARED WHIT THE CIVILIAN AIRPORT
isn't he also building a train thru the Chapas jungle?
@@el_equidistante is being built over the old train rail, the damage to nature is low compared with the economic benefit that people in the south will obtain, since these are projects from a left government, and the mexican ollygarchy is not profiting they are mad and trying to stop the projects
Thanks for divulge this environmental project with ancient roots from my born city. Actually, still other community/ towns close to Mexico City keep similar traditions.
And obviously we need more greening the city projects across the world.
Subscribed.
Thank you,this Is my city where i was born,in 1987.It Is not all bad.Thank you for showing the good side also.
Hello. Thanks for the nice video. I'm Mexican and Mexico City is my hometown. Video title is misleading. You are right that there are nice and green projects as the one shown and others. These great projects are minimal compared to the huge size, population and resources the city consumes on a daily basis. My point is only about the title. Saludos!
Great video! Great story! Needs to be circulated much more widely as it is an example to follow. Of course. living in Mexico City am not surprised; it really is a rather green city, with even green walls on the cities main freeway. BTW, I've been in the US the last few months an d am amazed how many plactic bags contine to be used her in the grocery stores. They were banned in Mexico City and now even the many stores are elminating the bags for produce. So everyone goes to the store with reusable bags. Many enviro-friendly lessons that should be emulated in the US and other higher-CO2 emitting nations!
That's shocking! Same here in the EU we stopped plastic bags, how are US so far behind?
Such a great idea - that can be applied anywhere.
Great documentary. Thank you for sharing.
I don't know if it's possible but it would be *awesome* if the chinampas could somehow be brought back!
Looks like they worked brilliantly!
All these videos needs more likes. 👍 So more people can watch it.
Toltecas & Aztecs are amazing. We got lot to learn from 'em.
Roma Verde is doing a good job.
Excellent Channel Leaf of life films and excellent work.
Gracias. Sencillamente grandioso.
Son buenos ejemplos que hemos dado al correr del tiempo.
Optimistic viewpoint about Mexico. Thanks for your vlog about the brightside outlook about Mexico.
Your videos are really motivating and give hope for a better future
just had a tour in the chinampas last week and camped there
That sounds like an amazing trip, did you film it?
Very inspiring... I am starting my own.
this is wonderful and such a great idea! i hope more people will start thinking this way and also rather than depending on others to get rid of their wastes, start reducing it at source. this year my city outlawed plastic garbage bags, and its been a great first step. we also now have zero waste stores where you can fill your own containers or baskets, rather than relying on plastic packaging. sacrificing a few minor conveniences for the health of the planet. things can get better if we all do our part 💪🏼
I'm new to the channel and have only seen 7 of your videos but i've already subscribed and i'm loving your content keep up the amazing work 😁
So grateful for your support and guidance. Thank you. Always upmost Respect. Amin 🙏🌍🌍🌏
As a Mexican living in Mexico City this video is more informative than the government’s propaganda and I’ll be using it with my neighbors.
Thank you!
The Huerto Roma is a tiny space for the megalopolis. But more importantly, 85% of Mexico City's surrounding space is used for agriculture. And there's also an important remnant of Xochimilco's chinampas that is still producing a lot of food. So, thanks to the native Mexicans, much of the ancient techniques of agriculture are used to make this city self sufficient on food production.
Muy interesante, gracias por su vídeo.
I'm not that far from Huerto Roma Verde and I didn't know about it until recent times... Thanks to "Leaf of life films".
I hope you visit there!
That’s super amazing!! 🙏🏼❤️❤️
It is indeed lunacy....enjoying learning about this topic!
This is what we should all be doing! Growing food!
Yes! That's great 😊
This is great news!
i wish I could get people motivated in my small village to start recycling. reducing and reusing.
I hope you can 🙏
Is moving forward rapidly ,but was never as bad as even we use to believe, when i was able to travel all over i realize that México city is actually way cleaner and greener that we and the world thinks. Was a shocking and great surprise.
Great city, great people, much greater PROYECT!
This is what I feel life is pulling me to. This is a hell of a way to be self sustaining. I love it!
This is commendable
I live so close and I didn't even knew it existed! thank you! I'll be sure to check it out soon and try to learn something from them :)
We need to change the way we think for survival! Thank you for taking climate change seriously! 🙏
It is slightly embarrassing to find out about this from a foreigner. I live 39 minutes away from there and had never seen it. It brings hope to see this kind of initiatives. Thank you for sharing. Chinampas are one of most clean and efficient forms of agriculture in the world and I'm happy to see it inspiring new ideas regarding such an urgent matter.
outstanding accomplishments. The Whole World Nero to learn to take action for Future Generation . Thanks for bringing this video to us.
Mexico City has changed a great deal since I lived there in the 1980s. I wonder if this process can be incorporated in every subdivision in Mexico City? Large mega cities should consider this alternative waste management system.
Subdivisions? They are called alcaldias or counties in English
It's great to live in this amazing city and also great to go out and have green areas to enjoy.
Im not from the Mexico City, but from a city on the north-east side of the country. But I'm genuinely glad that all my bro's at "La Capirucha" are getting a better life quality. They deserve it honestly.
Viva Mexico cab**nes🇲🇽!!!
Vamos, mi México! 🇲🇽
It's time of our arrival!
Wonderful rehabilitating the Earth.
This is quite Encouraging for me to learn about. Being from L.A. originally, I've dreamt about visiting Mexico City since I was young. It's currently near the top of my bucket list. 🌎👍😎
Thanks for sharing.
This is so beautiful. I’m from Mexico City and I didn’t know this ❤️ thanks for spreading such valuable information.
Places like Mexico City should take notes from cities in Colorado that have a good zero waste activism. First, by separating the trash bins to make recycling, composting, refurbishing, and burning easier!
Mexico city collects waste separately and has been doing for a while.
I'd love to live in a place like that. I'd fit right in.
Thank you for sharing this video. Its great to see how old knowledge can be blended with the new to solve real life challenges we all face today. Today there is evidence to suggest that many ancient civilizations had better sustainable practices that what we have today. In particular in Sri Lanka where I come from, ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa were great examples.
I feel all major cities and built up suburbs should have space allocated for something similar to this project. Most of the issues that arise from waste gets compounded when large amounts get collected into a single location. If it can be processed locally similar to what is shown here, then it supports a more sustainable solution where local community who produces the waste also get a chance to be part of the solution. Also they get a chance to see first hand how their lifestyles are impacting the environment.
Thank you! Very intelligent!
Good video it felt like an appetizer; I'm ready for the full meal now
beautiful news☘
This is very impressive.
YES 👏 IS IT COMPLETELY NECESSARY
Looks like Mexico City is being to the time of the Aztec
I was really nice see this video made from someone outside México.... I live up north near the border hoping this will take place as well
thanks for sharing this content I just wish the entire world sees this and applies this technique too.
Kudos to Mexico, very cool.
Of course this is the sane way forward. I've been composting & teaching composting methods most my life. Growing food in the city needs to be a priority. Neighborhood & downtown gardens to off set the heat, promote beauty & healthy fruits & vegetables. Gardens atop apartment buildings & high-rises of all kinds. Of course real separation of waste products so we can figure out how to deal with each kind. Some bacteria eat plastic & oil. This needs to catch on sooner than later. Cuba has been doing local community gardening in Havana for many years & a good percentage of the population can be fed this way. This cuts the need for transportation costs & produces food sovereignty. It also creates healthy jobs.
Glad to see they're doing something productive
Perfect weather
Interesting but, sadly, unfocused. The video publicizes the problem of plastics at the beginning (min 0:55) and at the end (min 7:27) but does not present how to solve this problem, it instead focuses on organic waste, which is good, but these are two very different problems with very different solutions.
