In this video, a representative at an ecology trade show presents some innovative building materials that are eco-friendly and will allow you to save some money on your energy bills. These materials are made out of gypsum cellulose and are used for insulation.

In the last segment of this Il était une fois... episode on technology, we learn more about what vertical farms can do to help the planet thrive. The first commercial vertical farm recently opened in Singapore.

Our eco-friendly home show representative explains the benefits of cellulose wadding versus fiberglass, two insulation materials commonly used in houses.

The students present the Maestro with various solutions for eliminating pollution on our planet, including vertical farms and biotechnology.

A group of smart young people found revolutionary ways to solve our planet's woes. Electronic books, Internet mail and much more...

Modern technology comes to the rescue! Planet Earth has a chance of recovering from man-made pollution.

Technology not only helps clean up our planet, but also allows us to explore the entire universe. According to the astrophysicist Alfred Vidal-Madjar, in five hundred years, we will have visited all the planets in the solar system.

In the final part of this Il était une fois... episode on the ecosystems, the Maestro explains what happened to the people and the famous statues of Easter Island. It's a lesson we'd do well to learn from.

In the next segment of this Il était une fois... episode on ecosystems, the Maestro teaches us how to build a butterfly garden. You can build one anywhere—even on your apartment balcony!

The Maestro surpervises the building of a pond for the butterfly garden. Everything goes according to plan, despite the work of a few practical jokesters.

France's Aube department has the highest concentration of wind energy in the country, which makes it the perfect place to experiment with new wind technologies and create a model for all of Europe.

These young people want to do their part for the planet. Under the Maestro's supervision, they prepare a butterfly garden after learning that butterflies are an endangered species.
