They arrived in Tepoztlan (one hour from City 'of Mexico) and decided to put down roots for a while' ... and stopped 26 years. In recent years each has designed and built his house just to Pocola (there are 15 in total), with the most environmentally friendly material and integrating it 'possible to nature. Perfectly integrated into the communities' and indigenous compesina surroundings, over the years have stirred sviluupo projects, social struggles, arts festivals, popular movements and feminist ..... as if to say that they found their little piece of paradise and closed the door! in parallel with each of them has created independent projects that are more like 'a dream come true', the "caravan Arcoiris por la paz", and that 'Huehue game from 7 years ago and is currently in Brazil, the al'organizzazione " punks Green, an independent group of punks in the suburbs most 'wretched of the city of Mexico that seek to rehabilitate the living standards through ecological revolution, the cooperative of seamstresses and campesino who 'succeeded in esportarefino to Gringolandia at international meetings a week which were attended by thousands of Artis, environmentalists and alternative movements from all over the world .... In short, and' a crucial place where they live personeaperte with hundreds of stories to tell, and they find no problems all the time to tell her!
