Flag of United States Taos, New Mexico
Monday, April 6, 2009

Just watched a great doco last night, about a very driven man and his dream to build sustainable housing, mainly out of recycled and waste materials. Michael Reynolds fights to be able to build Earthships around Taos in New Mexico, creating communities that a self-sufficient and off-the-grid.
His team also go to build a demonstration house after the 2005 tsunami in Asia.
Check out the doco 'Garbage Warrior' - you can find the torrent to download for free. And start collecting those bottles, car tyres and beer cans.
