Hey, good question! this is Marita. We are now in August 2011 and I am back Canada after a year in Haiti with many projects. Trying to make money to get back there and sort out the projects, and get everything underway. Earthships doing their best to meet all their commitments, we are aiming the next project for early 2012. These things can take time, not because of lack of potential on all realms, but lack of finances. stay tuned, the next project is getting ready..
But there should really be an organization that encapsulates this project, and takes care of all the "little things" (like the law), so that these guys can just get these projects going all around the world.
An organization that is dedicated to all the essential physical problems, that humanity should already have solved (clean water to all, clean and cheap energy, sustainable farming, and housing of course!)...
LOL @ 5:00 hahaha.... mann i love haitians! im so mad i couldnt be there with yall! forreal! i need to get my money together so i can help asap! plus, haitians got the best food! =D (even tho im not eating meat anymore)
What you did in Haiti is amazing. I will do my best to spread the news and encourage people to donate for your next trip to Haiti - the video speaks volumes and will be a great tool for fundraising. I will do what I can to help.
free humanity not industrial system as a giving love it like bob said what we need is people power....... the politicians exist to separate people to make you apply to build hahahaha build it and they will come thanks for having the ball to admit you care
Michael, Marita and crew. Very inspirational! I really love your attitude and skills. Just do it for the people without any interference! Love you people. Hope to build an earth ship one day. For me and for others.
@budigila Agreed on the human ingenuity part, however, notice in the vid how Michael mentioned that there were no bureaucrats or govt etc in the way and look at what they were able to do and how quickly. If there's govt funding, it may create a bunch of red tape, hurdles and may compromise what really really needs to be done. If the funding comes from volunteers, it can move more swiftly. Cheers!!

It's sad to me that millions+ $ were donated to Haiti and they could already be living in sustainable housing.
You guys are just incredible. We love the earthship concept and also hope to have our own one day.
Keep up the great work!
