    I literally just watched this pod on tv. INCREDIBLE!!! I would love to see one of these homes in person. It seems like the perfect solution for our growing concern for the planet. I''m definitely on board with this project and commited to making my own self-sustainable compound. Thanks for the info!

    I saw this by chance a few years ago on Current when it first aired (current.tv existed and not current.com then). I echo the sentiment that I'd love to see this in person. Not just that but I'd love to see Earthship designs in other environments such as the southeast or the north... Or is it possible?

    This may be the best way at an attempt to protect and preserve our species. These people are really serious about making a change on how they treat the environment. This is recycling at its best. Imagine just 50% of our country lived in an earthship we would not have the present housing bubble issue or a reliance on oil for energy and our conscious would be as clean as our air.
    I would love to live in one!
