The Living Bridge

In North East India just north of Bangladesh is the province of Meghalaya. 

 

This is an astounding video that shows a (literally) natural way that local people have adapted to an incredibly flood-prone environment.  The organic building materials prevent erosion and keep people in contact during times of flood.  The living bridges are truly a sight to behold.

A great video showing how people adapt to their environments and how people can build bridges with out any industrial tools, but with nature. A sustainable structure that does not hurt the environment.
