Earthship = the eco-house of future?

[@MyLoganTreks]

Even if you purchase a traditional home you can use these ideas on any existing home to make it greener for the next generations. Its knowledge worth learning and sharing, very beautiful Architecture and Greener than the majority of homes in production.

❤I LOVE THIS WAY OF LIFE ❤ My daughter and I are just starting our Earthship building journey!! We are American with ancestry in the Netherlands. Would love to visit one day! The world needs this. We have taken the progressive movement to the extreme. Greed is Killing humanity!

[@armandbourque2468]

What i would really like to see is a functional earthship type home incorporating a capable workshop space and a large attached greenhouse. Grid power, to run machinery, and mass walls to absorb noise. Greenhouse opening to a large garden, and a separate greenhouse for compsting. And wood heat with optional cooking capacity.

[@janiebrackett5713]

Build one!

[@Jessica-kk1cz]

Great home. Request - zoom out. It was hard to understand the home because it was a combination of drone views above, the guy at the table, and extreme close ups of objects. Would have liked to tour the rooms.

[@Yogi5D]

We need more of these communities in every country

[@Lotta494]

Wow Amazing!! I really would love to live in such a biological home 🥰❤️🌱

[@southkoreavideo]

So wonderful thank you for sharing your beautiful home

[@frankiestokes6675]

The tires are encased in enough adobe mud to prevent off gassing. There’s been 50 years of research in this exact building style and it’s very safe.

The Earth ships in Taos come up for sale now and then I stayed in one as a trial .......they have An HOA and Ccrs though ....no chicken coops ....

[@caltreloar9328]

Well the music is certainly inspirational. But I still consider this a typical western enterprise, I.e. educating the rest of the world. A Morrocan / Arab house would have many similar features, but built 500 years ago. Perhaps that is where the architect got thier ideas. Certainly wouldn't be the first time

[@caltreloar9328]

One criticism. 1% is not a butterfly effect

Very interesting video, thank you for uploading! Don't want do be a 'know-it-all' but please check your thumpnail: If a word starts with a vowel, than it's an earthship not a earthship!

lol, probably a typo, just like your “thumpnail”…😋

Rubber is from trees.not sure what ingredients in tires.

[@somebodyyy99]

It's just so sad that Earthships don't work as they are intended to..tires releasing toxic gasses, houses that are not adapted to the climate and weather they are in...Michael Reynolds Company (Earthship Biotecture) who is literally selling this dream of a house to you..(and he isn't even living in one himself)...obviously passive houses work and are a great opportunity to live sustainably..i just don't think you should advertise Earthships as this universal wonder they just aren't...most of the "Facts" Earthship Biotecture is promising is straight up not scientifically proven and is just said to make money...an actual working Earthship alternative with an actual scientific background without all the esoteric stuff would be great tbh...if anyone knows one please let me know!

[@Awelesslex]

Ive always thought it more logical to use rammed earth in place of the tire error. Most people are unaware also of the benefits of lime over concrete... Any ideas of alternative designs or resourses for more scientificly sound research or information yourself?

[@dustinabc]

I was very fascinated by earthship houses for a couple years, but eventually came across a few honest reviews of people who had actually lived in them and realized more and more of the difficulties. I think for certain climates they make a little more sense, but not for all. I learned more about building science, passive house standards, etc and i think that's more interesting to me.

[@theuglykwan]

I think Reynolds does live in an older model earthship. If tires are a problem you can use something else. I wouldn't use them simply due to the labour needed. The principles from earthships can be transferred eg. re-using grey water, rain harvest, storage and purification, passive solar, high insulation, re-using materials, the greenhouse buffer zone, cooling tubes etc.

[@tubulartuber]

@@theuglykwan high insulation isn't an earthship principle. many of them have those bottle walls which perform incredibly poorly

[@71Macola]

Or strawbales as building blocks. They are also waste products, as used tires are.

[@bitkrusher5948]

Don't have to use tires that's a reuse dream and is not labor sensible ..Earth bags are easier and do not require a toxic dump permit .....😮

[@tubulartuber]

solar orientation is important but 'passive solar' doesn't really work. you are better off making an airtight assembly with super insulation and mechanical ventilation. thankfully these are not 'earth ships' like what most people know (houses dug into hills using toxic tires to construct retaining walls). and wood burning stoves are responsible for at least 30% of air pollution if not more in areas where they are even only uncommon. i don't see how giving yourself and your neighbors an increased risk of cancer and cardiorespiratory diseases is healthy or responsible. and it's frankly completely incorrect that the original earthship design works in every country; it only sort of works in very specific environments and even then it doesn't actually work. the cost of mechanical ventilation is actually quite small, and comes with many benefits, such as improved indoor air quality. you can build an airtight and superinsulated structure with the same rammed earth walls if you like, and insulate the exterior with wood fiber insulation.

[@Allearsandeyes57]

True

[@flangekiwi]

Not accurate.

[@Prin_Cess_007]

lol you’re confusing pollution from wildfire with stoves. The amount of “pollution” from a wood burning stove compared to 1 flight is laughable. How many flights a day? Or factories? Or the pollution from making hardware for computers? You’re talking literally 0000000000000000.1% in comparison,

Do you really believe that living in a house made of tires is healthy?

[@SunUp08]

Why isn't it?

[@theuglykwan]

One could test if any gases are released. I personally would not use tires due to the labour. You could use earth bags or something more conventional.

[@Allearsandeyes57]

I was confused to see this video and calling this house an “earthship”…. As it was originally named byMichael Reynolds in New Mexico, was it not? There are good things and not so good things about most new architectural creations.I lived in one for 7 years.most of the tire construction and aluminum cans are co Reed in adobe mud

[@DeyCallMeDrama]

Used tires from junkyards have no outgassing left in them, especially when it's tested and covered with layers of lime plaster.. what's ur excuse now lol

[@CrestoneColorado-yj4we]

Building a home with toxic tires is not an eco friendly anything. Assholes where i live are polluting our water table. For our children's future. Think about that.
