This eco house in Bolivia isn't just for the benefit of future generations - it's changing a family's life right now. See how Bolivian home builders are using recycled bottles to combat trash build-up and provide housing for families in need.

    This seems inspired by Earthships
    It is one of my dreams to have an Earthship built - in fact, I would like to build a whole Earthship village to house my family and friends.

  • excellent! This will motivate me to upload my EARTHSHIP pod. We did a wonderful tour last spring with a friend who is building them in Taos New Mexico.

    ////ok...just watched that youtube video ....that is where we filmed.

  • all nations especially third world nations should recycle and build homes like this, growing up in bolivia passing through the small villages was depressing with all the houses falling apart barely surviving storms

  • i love this pod!! we desperately need to find more creative ways to recycle and reuse materials that are supposed to be "disposable." We can't keep dumping these things into landfills and our natural resources are depleting by the minute. It's in our hands to do something about it!!!

  • Fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring story.
    This is exactly what I've been dreaming about.
    Recycling bottles and cans to make homes for our people.

    The video shows how beautiful these homes can be made out of our discarded bottles. And how much decent housing means to families.

    Does anyone know of a video that explains step by step how to build the bottle houses?

    Let's get it to our tribal, rural and urban communities that can use the knowledge to build good housing for the people. Let's make it happen.
