FIRST EARTH (3/12) - Uncompromising Ecological Architecture

[Probesoul]

@Iverbraidhead Don’t confuse the rich (honest lifelong hard workers) with the elite super rich (who created a fiat money system and fractional reserve lending through which they control many sovereign governments). The super rich want us living in mud huts. They will never relinquish their control and join us in our huts. There will still be a two-tiered system: Only the one proposed in the above vid shows a larger disparity between the two tiers: the precise goal of the super rich for humanity

This is so environmental friendly architecture. Nice one bai.

Replace straw with hemp, then you something even stronger.

"working at some veal fating pen..."

how can you tell someones a vegan?

don't worry, they will tell you.

[Probesoul]

Good grief... is this the future? So much for having my own personal space/air craft and the hi-tech luxury home that can hover in the air... we're all going back to live in ugly cramped mud huts and cooking our meals using our own dung. Of course those ugly mud huts are for us... Our leaders will have the personal space crafts and floating hi-tech homes while the dumb plebes living in the mud, dirt and dung below will be waving at them as they fly by over head on their way to mars. WAKE UP!!!

@Probesoul Man, sorry to stereo type like to do, but people like u need to wake up. Why do u think the rich are rich and the poor poor? In which world did you grow up? Are you so naive that you think that the rich are rich because they work so hard? Let's take banks as an example. Ever heard of the terms "money as a dept"? Do you understand how loans work and who gets rich because of them? Sorry, but wake up and get at least a bit of research done on how the system works ;)

What is the name of the artist doing the music in this video? :) Love what you are sharing!

[NuclearNympho]

this is so cool, I wich my home was non-toxic like that!

[sargeantwelsh]

i fell in love at first sight with the house @5:32 OH MY GOD

[loubayou]

Where do the window's come from? Its that as Sunflower New Moon said, "actually built out of adobe, water and straw? Come on people. I understand and love the fact that these people are building these building's, but technology comes into play as well. Don't pretend they don't. The PVC pipes? Is that a natural adobe?

[RachelxxQxx]

@loubayou ever heard of hollow bamboo???????????

[TheSelfGoverned]

@loubayou The net weight of a conventional home consists of ~100% processed materials. These cob houses have less than 10% processed materials by weight. The cob makes up your siding, your insulation, your wood frame, your drywall, and your paint. Depending on how the individual builds his roof, he/she could reduce the number of processed materials to less than 5%.

Those cob house were so beautiful, I'd love to make a small one.

[Carlyofyork]

There's really good ideas being used here and I know that if I ever owned land that I would want a simple house built on it that's designed by me to meet my needs and the needs of others, Lord willing. How wonderful would that be?

[OneLove6467]

I am moving to costa rica and need some advise on building cal earth homes on my property...

I there are any builders currently residing in costa rica and have built these homes, please contact me..

[nCorelli]

"All these things are ancient materials." Really? Including the PVC piping you've used for your compost shute? The glass in your vinyl windows and doors?

You people will believe anything... just as bad as the religious fanatics out there.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for energy independence, efficiency, and most importantly common sense. But don't do it under the guise that we're saving the earth. This planet has been around for a long time, it knows how to handle a measly species like us.

[Mikdeelo]

A very good point, which was well stated.

Keeping sustainable logic, where these ideas can be accepted 'mainstream' and not simply a curiosity to be indulged by only radicals, societal dropouts and movie stars, is how we get people to actually DO!

To use a scene from the M.P. movie 'Life of Brian', "what have the Romans ever done for us?"

One hell on damn lot!

Like nCorelli said, in effect, don't eschew technology as a spinal reaction, while using the parts best suited to your needs.

[martinez85]

@nCorelli Straight out of a George Carlin bit. I think just like George Carlin later says, we aren't doing these things to save the Earth, we are doing them to save ourselves. In my opinion there isn't much wrong with that. The fact of the matter is that if we switched from the conventional building system in North America (cement foundation, milled lumber walls, fiberglass insulation, asphalt roof shingles) to what these people are using it would greatly enhance our lives and environment.

[nikkicraft]

these earth houses are even soothing to look at.

[ClearMindDontKnow]

Wow, some truly great design and materials being shared here. Here's to the past and future, together!

[crass770]

cheers to that

[odin422]
