Check out this Movie "Island of Flowers"
It was part of an huge art exhibit called "All We Need" that was housed in a former steel mill in Luxemburg. It was like a mini BurningMan art show for the public related to sustainability.

"All We Need explores the world as a global market through the human efforts to dream, imagine and live a happy life. The exhibition shows, in particular through the fair trade example, alternatives in consumption and life styles. It provides reflections and proposals for action on the essential questions touching the future of mankind: which are our fundamental needs, and how can we satisfy them without endangering neither the survival of our planet, nor human rights?
Human needs are the same everywhere. Chilean economist Manfred Max-Neef, recipient of the « Right Livelihood Award » also known as the « Alternative Nobel Prize » has identified nine basic categories of human needs:

* idleness (Relax)
* subsistence (Survive)
* freedom (Choose)
* affection (Love)
* identity (Belong)
* protection (Protect)
* understanding (Understand)
* creation (Create)
* participation (Stand Up)
