I actually do have a reasonable solution if anyone wants to read it: Basically Canada and USA would 1.) swap a small area of coastal waters, 2.) make the border a straight line, 3.) extend their "coastal borders" a little bit, and finally 4.) build a 4 lane highway belonging to both USA and Canada. HERE'S HOW: The straight line border would be very close to where it already is. It would go from the southern-most point of Northwest Angle, South to the tip of land just west of Buffalo Point Marina. The new "coastal borders" would be along the coast line of Sandy Point Bay and the coast line of Buffalo Point (Canada gains Sandy point coast while USA gains some of Buffalo Point coast). The highway would be 4 lanes right on the border. The East 2 lanes would belong to Canada (traveling North/South) while the West 2 lanes would belong to USA (also traveling North/South. I think this is a very fair agreement that would equally benefit both sides, although mostly solving a USA problem.

Magnificent , smart, loving human being, such a problem solver of some many issues.

Guy with bleeding nose : thats why saleds "banned".

Controlled by what America? Southern or Northern America, or Latin America?

Newfoundland wasn't part of Canada until March 31, 1949. You got some facts wrong and not well researched.

This looks like a pretty fun way to workout honestly. Little pain keeps pushing you. Everybody go help out Ukraine! They need us. That is the most important thing. But loved the video.

What about a boat??

The reason the government the architectural community don't like it is because they won't get paid. Insurance won't get paid and the government won't get a cut. Its just a bunch of pissed off middle men.

People laughed at him, the US gov tried to stop him with a bunch of BS bureaucracy. But he's winning. Not just that but he's making better use of cans and bottles than those who put that stuff in a landfill. And those homes or Earthships he created are lovely.

This was solid journalism that explored the various sides of an issue with fairness and open-mindedness. Way to go, fellas!

I'm interested in sustainability but not interested in weirdo newage vegan geriatric sex cults that seem to be inseparable from the eco village part.

I'm disabled on Disability. Really how can I live in an earthship?

How do you become a part of this,I dream of living a life this way, being a part of this purpose

The planet is already sustainable. It's the wickedness of people who make things unsustainable.

I am too old now but I would have loved to do this. This is awesome.

"The roof is slanted..." No shit lady. ALL roofs are slanted. She's neither a light bulb or a knife.

I wanna do this so bad!! My son and I need and deserve clean living

So beautiful guys

Don’t start an argument where this isn’t one. The government couldn’t care less. Find land that’s zone A1 agricultural zoned land. And start building. But you need a good size truck. They need to learn about building, how to site the site, how to put fence in if you want livestock.

Is Earthship living only for vegetarians? I eat animal-based. Is there a town not too far away, or a farmer where you can buy grass-fed meat? One freedom I DON’T see is farm outbuildings with chickens and goats. Is this allowed?

the dude declaring war on himself is the funniest thing about this to me

False, those solar panels need to be replaced every 10 or so years. Sustainability is a rhetoric with no practical meaning.

I LOVE the off grid concept !! BUT when a group of people live on SHANTY BOATS like this, JUST WHAT DO THEY DO WHEN THEY HAVE TO SHIT !!!

Its really self gratifying living this lifestyle.

Made me think of sob city.

I wonder why they don't spin the tires on a base and pour in sand to fill them. Centrifugal force.

I understand it’s built from recycling but I’m still wondering what the cost might be on top of that and your plot of land.

10:11...this house is worth 1.5 million dollars....this is the problem in todays world. A literal pile of trash is being marketed for 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS!!! So you need to be rich already, and then decide to give your money away to move into the middle of no where...you people are sick

I am interested how eco friendly and safe to humans are the chemicals in the tires and other garbage and the use of feces as fertilizer.

I tried to join the Army when I was 16. I think anyone that wants freedom should be in the service. Freedom is not free.

Oh hell yeah I've been wanting to live in New Mexico for years and to see that you guys are doing this earthship thing and I actually able to do it makes me wish to know how do I get in one of these earthships can enough electricity be made to play my music

If you refuse to be consumer for their product the state ensures coorparate profits 😂 When do you guys wake up Muh freedom

Theres no such thing as failing - fail only means first - attempt - in - learning 😊

Why are obese old people who don’t do any labor or help society living in these earth ship houses. Young families should be living in them.

This wouldn't work in a city like Chicago. It would be too cold.

The main reason this isn't happening is because the government doesn't want us to... it's sad. They want their dollars.... they don't make laws and rules for the people. More people need to start coming together for this stuff in order to get us changes

omg "everyone else is drinking microplastics" RAD. my 10 yr old comments, "not just drinking but eating microplastics!"

I am certain you know of the garbage queen. Right? Dubai to Australia, she is a chemist.

You know what's more sustainable? It's adopting an architectural model that ancient people use that lives in the desert. Designing a structure that could help generate electricity and ideal conditions with the help of the standard temperature and weather in the area while using garbage which will compliment the material's property to heighten the function of the structure. Sounds really fun thinking about making such thing in pursuit efficiency and sustainability. Helps the environment as well.

Mike is indeed a visionary and a genius. He knew what is more important than those greedy politicians around the world only thinking of profits and keeping their power as if they can carry that on their graves. They live this world with nothing but ashes of those people sacrificing their lives for their greed.

I WOULD LOVE TO PURCHASE ONE OF THESE HOMES! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good … GREAT .,,, OUSTANDING‼️ what you made is a LIVING SPACE… out of RUBBISH.. and … and …. It is a HECK OF A LOT BETTER THAN THE HORRIBLE CITIES … and being Mindful of Mother Earth….ONE CANNOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT… KUDOS ‼️😮😳😁👍🇺🇸👀

The people living in these dwellings will still be alive after the financial crisis which is soon to be here in about 2 years.

Become ungovernable ,great way to do it ,I have to wonder if I met this guy back at the ranch in my teen years

I absolutely in love with the whole idea. The magical Gaudísh style plus the luxury and sustainability...blowing my brains. I want to live there!!!

How can I get in contact with Mike Reynolds?

I’ve done many years of research on repurposing reusing, tires and rubbish, such as bottles, etc. what I got from this segment was that it doesn’t matter how nice it’s gonna look over a short period of amount of years the air will become toxic. You will die from long disease and many other complications due to the toxicity of the air inside the organic breakdown process, it will release into the air into the ground and everything around. It will be toxic. There’s no way to stop this. It’s a natural breakdown of rubber tires and other products used to build this type of structures, I guess if I was governor president I would ask you to consider this a dumping area. However, great experimental great idea to be self-sustaining. I’d like the water situation. I think that would benefit America and our water problems coming up very soon and several other areas that could be incorporated into building with normal building materials.
