My wife and I have started a non-profit charitable trust to spearhead the self-sustainable housing initiative for low income and no income families. We are currently in the process of traveling the country to raise funds and increase awareness of this critical issue. After all, if you want to change the world you have to start from the bottom! We are grass-roots and really need all the support we can get at this time!

looking for future helping hands to build an earthship! contact me

[ittray]

Im am mixing cob construction techniques with this earthship technology.

[Nnomulac]

Very nice

[SweepTheMind]

Yeah, i was wondering that too, just so i have a notion, how much does a custom earthship cost? the average, considering you'd put there a 4 people family. Any sights on the price? Cheers, great concept!

[bsew64]

Fantastic Guys !!!

[Ullbritt]

I'm interested in the bolivian earth ship, is it really warm enough?

[MikiFerrandino]

Awesome! great work indeed

[ArdomeTV]

We love what you are doing. We can't get around the septic requirements in Arkansas even with a composting toilet and gray water recycling.. Arg!!

ArdomeTV if your land is not in the city learn how to build without the permission of the government.

i love mormons.

[Sebastian7908]

hehe, good statement. i love them too, because i am mormon ;-)

[dan020350]

it seems we are brothers , continue the good work :)

[gilga999]

that's because Utah will be taken out by the new flood. They want to relocate to a place high above sea level. Think of Machu Picchu, It was a town run by holy men and women who wanted to preserve the human race from another disaster.

[blessingsinfinity]

It would be great to join up with like minded people to build the next earth ship I am UK based

[AyakoTachi]

Interesting the Bolivia project was funded by Utah Mormons... I notice there don't seem to be any earthships in Utah.. correct? Have there been any attempted projects in Utah?

[Struckgold]

whata loada RUBBISH. Brilliant!

[GaryPretorius]

haha, hippy! cool though...

[grassjutube]

Hello,

I like this earthship!

But can i build it without using concrete??

[JustPlaneNuts]

I would think that in a dry climate you could use adobe mud.

[ziggyhuys]

@grassjutube Papercrete or chalkpowder/hemp mixture,(green conrete, the properties of the hem are very good as a building paste alike to cemens but alot eco-friendlier!

[videlsd]

@grassjutube yes you can, it's actually recommmended that you do since concrete is so damaging to the environment... just google earthship and you'll see it on their website :)

[bvonmoss]

@grassjutube If you have concrete on the inside and think it's too rough and hard, when you mix the concrete, also mix in some sand/dirt and/or plaster. This way you'll still have the strength of concrete, but a softer texture. I'm living in Mongolia and there are some Mongolian style houses, which have vertical positioned logs, and they put this kind of mix on the outside and inside. Sand is less expensive than concrete.

This stuff is legend. 1st time I saw it on Wikipedia I was blown away.

[F0RD0Z]

@grassjutube

yep! at least very few i think ! you can use half tires to fill the empty spaces of the walls

and you can try nubian arch for the roof if it s not to wide

you willl always need concrete for the "bond-beam"

[PCGamerPortal]

@grassjutube why?

[upsidedahead]

@PCGamerPortal cos concrete isn't exactly earth friendly is it

[PCGamerPortal]

@upsidedahead why not?

[japislav]

@grassjutube you can also use hempcrete.

[80spopQueen]

@grassjutube concrete would be too industrialized and it withers when rain or the elements hit it causing a bunch of housing problems. Cob would be a beter solution.

[LloydSUCCESS]

this guy is a legend. i want to buy a peice of land and build my own earthship then i can experience true freedom. this is definately the future.

[EasternMerchant]

it's amazing how different technologies are invented throughout time, and through fate, they eventually cross each other's paths and are destined to share a life together in harmonious symphony!

[Ullbritt]

@LloydSUCCESS yep, I just wish it was more well known. most people still have no clue about earthships :(

[ovandocarter]

@LloydSUCCESS very true. but how much does it cost to build one

[juggalomushroom]

@LloydSUCCESS

The only thing stopping us from TRUE freedom in america are taxes. If you bought the lang, built it, and lived off it, you'd be scott free for the rest of your life.

[eherzik]

Great idea and awsome homes and way of being green for our planet , but if this guy says "uh" anymore times than he does already nobody will understand what the hell he is talking about.

[Ullbritt]

Well you ahve to realise he has smoked a loooot of weed during his years. It takes a toll.

[dr3aming]

esa casa va a ser un horno

[playnine99]

quit swallowing every five seconds...very aggrivating

[Ninyae1]

How not to spot the positives and focus on the perceived negatives, by playnine99! What we don't like about others is generally what we don't like about ourselves!

[Mechman064]

Yes the sound is a bit garbled in a few spots but it's a fine video anyway, and an awesome concept. I love my affordable and efficient condo but if I wanted to buy a house, this would be an awesome way to go.

[dyssolve]

Fix the sound please.
