So I have done some work on off the grid Earthship construction in New Mexico.Sustainable to the extreme very warm and cozy.The Earth Part generates a constant 55 degrees from underground as there is little frost on the mesa and is easily heated or cooled.The structure can be flowing- literally out of the box-Solar panels and southern slant window walls provide heat and electricity.So many recycled materials are used along with state of the art plumbing and waterless toilets.The largest use of water in the US is to flush the toilet and its fresh water not grey water.These homes also catch rainwater for planting growing veggies etc.No one would think of wasting water on car wash or hooking up to the power grid.Why? Social responsibility.The owners want to minimize thier use of fossil fuels and the blood trail they produce.I find soscial awareness is not popular or not known known on a large scale in the Notheast.Another point is Fossil Fuels are Finite and so much is made from pertolium products that is not biodegradable.We just throw the Pizza Boxes and plastics in the trash and the disappear right? Wrong plastics are killing Whales at an ever alarming rate to name one tragedy.
