the underground town and the zero waste town were both so so fascinating.
Jonah Terry right so interesting would love to visit
I just wonder if theres an earthquake
I actually live in the state where Coober Pedy is and it is one of the most neutral locations for seismic activity, it has a couple of little tremors that you hardly notice once every 10 or so years.
we do not have any faults down under mate, nothing shakes here unless we blow something up. which we like doing, but that is another story.
love from down under.
Graham De Lacey , you better do some research Graham , Australia does have fault lines, and we do suffer from earthquakes.
You should spend your time on the internet to educate yourself Graham and not run around making false statements
"" Earthquakes in Australia have also resulted in significant damage and loss of life. This was certainly the case with the magnitude 5.6 Newcastle earthquake in 1989, which killed 13 people and resulted in a $4 billion damage bill. Adelaide is the most earthquake prone capital in Australia. ""
The second town looks so bad ass. It reminds me of the small fishing town from avatar the last air bender
Estephany De Luna yeah agreed. I’d like to stay there a whike
Nah...Watch Waterworld, literally the same thing
@@petemccarthy5819 i had the pleasure of staying on the island next to it for a few days, no wifi, just me two friends, the beautiful Caribbean and these fascinating ways of life. A popular snack is conch shellfish, which they swim out and dive down for whenever. They have mounds of the shells around the island. :)
thats literally why I clicked on the video lol
@@invictusgardener3090 Yep that's what I was thinking, the atoll from WaterWorld (even though this one is not an atoll).
Too crowded for my taste, I like wide open spaces (and I don't count the water, you can't walk on it) but to each his own.
These videos are just SOOOOO well-edited that I can't believe this channel doesn't have over ten million subscribers
Yeah I had to recheck the view count.. this is amazing
Something interesting and educational like this should have more views and subscribers than PewDiePie
4 million now lol
They upload really often and that can be annoying
I mean. It’s a news channel owned by CNN 10-
Underground town has such a nice sense of community. It really warmed my heart when he said they would just go and make a new room for a new baby. Must be really nice to be able to make as big of a home as they want! I wonder if there's been any accidents of blasting out someone else's wall along the way though lol
I know it's impossible to replicate the Kamikatsu’s success, but I hope we can be more like them!
Army Otaku imagine: they thought it was impossible too
they can be successful because they are a small town with small community, it's easier to get everyone to cooperate, you wouldn't expect Tokyo to do the same with it's 9 million inhabitant to all cooperate like that, would you? XD
@@wh7824 Well, you could try to divide Tokyo into several neighborhood communities of 1000 people or so.
Lone Starr what? Have you ever seen Tokyo?? there can be 1000 people on one floor of a building in Tokyo also it’s the biggest city on earth you can’t just divide it
The fist step is to think that it is not impossible
Not recycling feels awful. The trashless Town is so cool!!!
I agree. Their town is a proof that it is possible to go zero waste.
Yes!! It's not so hard to live responsibly and it's even easier if the whole community participates.
If I ever want to bdly get away from modern society, I'll move there
Pipe down ya virtue signaling phony
45 categories?
In Flanders (Belgium) we have recycle parks, i think almost 20 categories?
At home paper, PMD (plastic bottles, small metals from cans , and drinking cartons) and the rest waste are collected,
sometimes glass collected at door, otherwise you have to take it to a glass bulb
the big peaces, and more selectable recyclable little pieces you can bring to a recycle park,
think it comes to about 20 categories there, selective pure metals, some different kinds of plastics, reasable clean wood , dirty wood for energy, textiles , oils, paints, small electrics, ...
i think the containerpark started at 8-10 categories 20 years ago and slowly added option in witch some better recycling seems to be possible.
Finally an Estonian video. I have specifically been to kihnu island on a vacation. My mom is from there
SmokeyTube Awesome
SmokeyTube awesome place Estonia island is cool
SmokeyTube your mom is from there
Are there really no male present there even at school?
SmokeyTube Agh! Seriously?! I just left a comment about how much I love those traditional skirts! I think it is so beautiful and awesome how woman wear the skirts on a daily basis, how it hasn’t just become something to wear for holidays. Do you have one? I would love to have one. I wish there was a way to order one. I am in a city (Chicago), where we have a decent sized Estonian population, but most people are of Estonian descent at this point. A lot of Estonians came here after WWI and WWII.
mr mayor man looks pretty conversational
lol
And men wonder why women talk to themselves. Give them an option, hello.
what do you mean, she does _all_ the talking lol
why do you have to make it a gender thing man, come on
Haha not even a word
I wouldn't mind living in the recycling town
Me too
Me too
I think I would prefer population 1 town
Me too ✅🙋🏻♀️
I wish we could have a town or state here in the USA that lives just like how Japan does... I'd move there in a heartbeat.
did that australian just use farenheit?
piggypoo. It’s an American channel. So if she used Celsius Americans would when been confused.
+Rachel J
Yeah, but it wasn't the narrator who said it. It was the undergrownd down underer.
Im a Kiwi and some older folks here in New Zealand still rock out the imperial measurements. Hell I'm only mid thirties and I use them sometimes
Aussies use Fahrenheit when Celsius hits 100 degrees in the old money....."it's 100 out there" sounds dramatic!
People can use both Farenheit and Centigrade, it's not hard to conceptualise.
The last town was my biggest nightmare i can't imagine being tht alone.
It looks like she runs a tavern so there are people passing through to talk to.
khushboo sirova my husband and I wish we could move there with our 3 kids
@@annak804 what's stopping you from moving?
All of the people in the surrounding countryside probably come in to the tavern to socialize.
It literally is the land down under
Were there no one on the island in Colombia to interview? Very brief segment there while even the Nebraska towns with a 1 and 2 ppl population got more screen time.
Language??
@@kimmyball4961 I'd be guessing Spanish, because Colombia?
Kimberly Ball There was translated Japanese in the video. I’m sure they could’ve translated Spanish.
Gustavo D'Mello I was gonna say maybe no one there spoke English but they wouldn’t have had a problem getting a translator on the interviewer’s side so hm
chill yr outrage son. obviously its because no one really went there it was stock film.
'White man in a hole' I absolutely love that
FoxyWhite I think those underground homes are really cool!
The bedrock might not be too far down
Yeah..I would live to go live there...but..what about food? Jobs? Can you rent a place?
Australians playing real life Minecraft
'Brown man in a pile of sh*t" I absolutely love that
I didn't notice the guy at 12:09 before she said "converse more" and looked at him! 🤣 LOL I had to rewind that!
yeah i’ve been to coober pedy for a school trio and we stayed in the underground bunkers there. best experience i’ve had in my life so far hands down
Man, things like this remind me just how beautiful the human experience truly is.
Beautiful? Or a huge social experiment
@@jonog5632 What are you on about?
Wtf are you a reptile?
Omg the underground town is beautiful 😍😍 and the no trash place in Japan is just breath taking
yeah underground is great, until you die of radon poisoning. and as for japan, that is one small model village, when the rest of japan is obsessed with plastic, wrapping, consumerism, and not recycling.
@@dr3754 good job in always seeing the bad things in stead of seeing the down as good example
@@dr3754 Okay Mr. Pessimist
That line about how they'd head out the night before a new birth with a couple of jackhammers, compressors, and a couple cartons of beer was wonderful
Japan always amazes us in some way. Most of the countries should follow their ways of living.
Ignitus
Sadly, this is mostly just the case for Kamikatsu. Switzerland is an entire country and is the most sustainable country on the globe.
they are considered one the worst countries when it comes to recycling, they also are obsessed with the extreme use of one time use plastics, which are hell on the environment, hopefully the example of that one town will slowly turn the whole country around.
Turns out im as oblivious as ever. Maybe not their ways of living but their courtesey and politeness? Although it may be too much.
Then maybe not the recycling part but their city management is great. Tokyo is an amazing city and currently the largest.
The suicide rate in Japan isn't that much higher than most other countries. Even if it was, at least they're polite about it. Wish these fucks shooting up places in the states would follow their lead and leave other people out of their bull shit
A population of 1 person
*HOW DID THAT HAPPEN*
Survival of the fittest, baby.
He let the biggest and smelliest fart ever and gone they were!
Well, there must've been more people at some point, seeing as there was both a church and a school, but eventually everyone except her moved away.
@@treetopy How is she not benefiting her surroundings? A population of 1 would drastically reduce her carbon footprint. The land around her is practically pristine lol. If she's paying taxes then she's doing just fine.
They'll never find the bodies
I love these stories! It's so cool to see how other people live in such different communities and environments.. The zero waste town is so interesting, I will do some more research into it later (:
yes, these towns need multiculturalism.
africans, and muslim middle easterners and pakistani need to move in, especially in the first town.
I love this, but how come no one was interviewed from Santa Cruz Del Islote? Everyone else was interviewed.
Genesis could be language barrier 🤷🏻♀️
Language??
@Matty Bruno Lucas Zenere Salas Lol, i meant maybe the townspeople have a language barrier. ☺
@@litzyflores999 Nope. They interviewed people in Estonia. Silly reason.
@@kimmyball4961 Nope. It's Spanish. I'm from Colombia.
I didn't expect to ever see Estonia being featured on this channel.
*nice*
Lars Aarton Yes, I was also surprised to see it pop up right at the beginning of the video. Being an Estonian, I'm used to people not knowing where or what country Estonia even is and so us considered to be worthy for some top 5 video is a really nice feeling. Thank you very much everyone 🤗 also I really liked the other towns as well and hope to visit some of them in the future maybe 😊
They didn't show much with The underground town. I'd love to visit there
"The values are different, you don't have everything at your fingertips so you just sit and converse more"
*_looks over at her husband(?) who hasn't so much as blinked the whole time_*
The Australian guy is my new favorite person.
Halfling I feel like he would have a solution to just about any problem.
Precious ..
What great virtues these little communities .
I'm blessed to engage in your journies ...and a tad jealous.
Thank you...so much
WOW! I'd have never known these amazing places exist, if not for Great Big Story. Thank you!
South Australia Represent!!!
I love my solitude.. and the underground homes would be fabulous for me..
Small towns are fascinating. They know eachother & it gives you that homey feel.
Loved this! Thank you for sharing these peoples stories.
Fascinating indeed.
Kamikatsu is most fascinating. Green, beautiful landscape, and the great mindset of people.
Loved all of them and how unique it is. Definitely added in my bucketlist
This was an all round great presentation. I must visit these places one day!
Wife;"You just learn, sit, and converse more..."
The Mayor 😐😐😐😐😐
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He looks like he's tired of her shit lmao
Yeah, it looks like the husband is really tired of listening to the wife and wants to banish her from the town.
That Japanese town of Kamikatsu is certainly amazing. I always knew zero waste was possible if only people’s mindsets would change. Seeing it actually being done on a municipal level gives me hope that ppl can change & not continue to live ignorantly about what actually happens to their garbage.
omg the underground town looks so comfortable and badass! no wonder it’s so chill down there with all these cool people
it really wants to make spend a vacation there
Love the concept of underground dugouts, cool and comfy!
“There are no police, but there isn’t much need for them, since everyone on the island knows each other.” Ummm, solid reasoning there... 🤔
That was exactly my response - that and cynical laughter!
It must mean crime is so low there since everyone knows each other and live so close together there's no need for police. ...just a thought.
I grew up in a town of about 100 people. We had zero crime. We not only had no police force, but I didn't know what a police officer was until I learned about them in school. Until then I thought those were the outfits of specific TV characters. I don't live there anymore, but the town still has zero crime and zero cops. :)
police only make more problems. they dont solve them
@Matty Bruno Lucas Zenere Salas It is true in many countries
I live in Bridgend, the county and town that recycled the most in Wales. Wales is the country with the second highest recycling rate in europe/the world so waste disposal can be time consuming...
Seriously? Why is Cardiff full of garbage though?
Isn't that the town with all of the teenage suicides?
Àbsolutley amazing! They were all small towns, my secondary school is larger, from all around the world Australia to Costa Rica and had a very unique story to tell.
Just have to say that this was a great and well produced video! Thank you.
wow
Have you seen the video about you
Justin Y. You are everywhere
Paul White he’s prob subbed to 10000 channels.
I like that you are here daddy
SmokeyTube kinky
japan people are so genuinely nice!
omg iam gonna puff up and fly away :3
"I'm here because i want to be here", what a beautiful and strong words
Thank you for such great information. Your entire video is very interesting.
In many parts of Spain, whole towns with less than 5 inhabitants are actually so common...
Why do those people live in a town of 2 or a town of 1? At least that lady should move to the town of 2 and have a town of 3 😆
lol
welcome to nebraska haha
Why move if she's comfortable there?
Is her choice.
@Raven Red Honestly, if everyone moved away from where I live I would not feel much need to follow them as long as I still have electricity and phone/internet I could still keep in touch with my friends.
thats gross
I like Kamikatsu.I have been studying this very village closely. I just love this village.
I would've liked to've seen full length videos of these towns!
Maybe diana wonder woman came from kinhu island :)
Only citizen in town: "We don't have enough people."
they used to. she must have chased them away.
OMG all these small towns are fascinating but visiting Cobber Peddy has always been on my bucket list.
One of the coolest videos I’ve watched in a while
Everyone in that recycling town will hate me after having just one party in my house
The underground town looks like my minecraft base
'as is often the case with social problems, we are powerless to effect change if we begin by saying it can't be solved' i love that
thank you for wonderful and positive stories,
4:21 hey great big story, that STOCK PHOTO is of Big Sur, CA from a google search. Not japan. I know this because I used it for a school project myself
prove it
Devin Tanner - You’re mistaken
stock photo lies
Look closely, the camera moves, it’s not a photo
You’re probably mistaken
I’m from Estonia. Kihnu is pronounced Keeh-New. I was surprised to see a video about Estonia 😀 great content ❤️
The narrator also called it "Eastern Europe"...smh.
yes, these towns need multiculturalism.
africans, and muslim middle easterners and pakistani need to move in, especially in the first town.
@@itsmetheherpes1750 how many times you post the same comment? Broken record much?
I love your content! Keep it coming!
I like the way these people transition down on their list, no annoying countdowns, no obnoxious music, no overly loud announcer. Its very calming.
With the underground town, what happens if/when the tunnels collapse in on themselves? It’s gonna happen at some point. Especially as the townsfolk are all blasting new rooms out by themselves. Very worrying.
solid rock, it won't collapse. plus you can always reinforce it.
OUR WORLD IS AMAZING
I’ve been to Coober Pedy before and stayed in an underground campsite for a school trip and it was so amazing. There were not many lights so before we went to bed myself and some friends stayed out and just looked up at the stars cause they were so easy to see it was so amazing
Wow! I stumbled over this video and I absolutely LOVE this video! Thanks for providing this. Be blessed, today and always! =) New sub! I cracked up at "white man in a hole"!!!!
Zero Waste town YAS! That's amazing. Maybe one day there will be many many towns that do the same thing
hope so
If Kamikatsu's zero waste policy is successful everywhere on Earth. I believe, even cities will smell like country side fresh air. And all living beings will be healthier, stronger and happier, while solving the current global warming problems in huge percentage!
Excellent! I loved this.... although not sure how I got here. 😍😂😍 It is so interesting to catch glimpses into the lives of others. We are so often caught up in our materialistic world.
Such quality documentary, I wish it was great long stories.
I am sitting here in my house where I can see the OUTSIDEE and just suffocating thinking living underground.
Yahye sTudios 😰
japan should be the country that we should follow
japan is just simply amazing.. that's all. A simple life leads to a better life and doing something make a difference to the environment.
i respect japan for being a clean country.
Uh, I live in Tokyo. I wouldn't say you want to follow all of Japan. The town they showed here is a minority. I can't tell you how much single-use plastic is used on the daily.
Hearing estonian language always cracks me up because I'm finnish and the languages sound so alike but still gibberish :DD all my love ror Estonia tho!
what a well-edited and interesting video. subscribed!
0:33 "no man's land"
•
Pun intended? 😂
Kamikaze?
Got me shocked
Then was relieved when they said kamikatzu
Why was the island off the coast of Colombia only talked about for 70 seconds? And all the other places go so in-depth? 🤔🤨🤔🤨😑
Probably because no one spoke English and they were too lazy to hire a translater
Man, Great Big Story makes these places seem really interesting. I can be convinced to go visit these places 😅
Town "Hum" in Croatia has only 21 people
Incredible video. Love the Zero Thrash Tolerance in Japan, I can only wish that should be implemented globally. Great that other cultures are still preserved. Keep up the good work.👏👏👏
That's why i really love japan even though I'm a filipino and I've never been there. I like to live there a clean and peaceful country to live for ♥.
Now, that was an interesting video. Thanks!
Kihnu island may be full of hidden Wonder women.
I don't have to watch the video. I like the video up front since I know the video will be amazing anyways
I visited Coober Pedy when I was a kid. It's a great little town!
01:33 love how they stick the little boy at the back 🤣
What a surprise! All of these clips have been uploaded atleast 3 times each. Alone and with montages with different names. The no trash town has been uploaded like 5 times. Wth.
PantsB4Squares I Thought The Island Off Of Colombia Was A Familiar Story. Maybe They Are Trying To Bring New Subbies Up To Speed. 🤔🤔
Dat cash revenue tho
Or perhaps reminding us of other ways to live. Humans are so forgetful.
I struggle with anxiety. The underground city is cute but I could never sleep living there thinking about an earthquake and being trapped.
Not really an issue. Coober Pedy is located in one of the most geologically stable parts of the continent.
Excellent video....just awesome:)
Yeah, I just blasted out my kitchen a week ago hahaha :D Love it!!!!
"White man in a hole" 😂😂
"Men were always a long time away from the island", they bring back many sperm eggs, along with the fish.
Loved this!!
Great quality video!!! Super interesting
I'd love to visit that island in Estonia and try some fish
Your Neighbor Amos .... me 2
or something that smell like fish 😆
1: lesbos island.
2: little big planet.
3: weebos wish land.
4: Fall Out, Downunder.
5: GET OFF MY LAND!
only in your pervert mind
The best comment I’ve seen on RUclips
Good and interesting programme. Enjoyed and had a bit of a laugh. X
