This book is very easy to read with wonderful and useful information. If you want to start thinking "green" then this book is a great start.
The book spans a wide range of topics - including beauty products, cleaning products, linens and mattresses, and home improvement. If you are going to make any large-scale eco-friendly investments (on-demand water heater, organic mattress, hybrid car, solar panels) youre going to need to do much more research than what is in this book. If youre just looking for a primer covering a lot of topics and dont mind it when it states the obvious (bring your own bags to the store, recycle your trash) or hawks products, then you might find this book useful.

I want to move to Taos and live in an Earthship. I’m all about them. The tires are encased in mud walls so I’m sure whatever “toxins” are leaking are being absorbed into the mud and not making levels high enough to actually damage anyone. I’m moving out there as soon as I can save enough for plans!

This was your own word … ” they leach dangerous chemicals “

So it is more …
So it is more dangerous to drive with tires because they wear down, so they should be banned

So do the majority …
So do the majority of the plastics in the world around us, also aluminum causes Alzheimer’s.
There’s toxins in the air, in the public water, the food either has hormones or is genetically modified for the most part.
Its all true, look it up.
Also Cannabis may cause testicular cancer in youths, but it cures lots of other kinds of cancer and may prevent Alzheimer’s. It not only doesn’t cause brain damage but it may help protect brain cells.

it’s not a good …
it’s not a good idea to use tires for building. they leach dangerous chemicals and they can vaporize in a fire. likewise it’s not a good idea to make tire ponds or to use them in a garden, despite what the older permaculture books say.

Yeah. We are made …
Yeah. We are made to believe that we can only change our lifestyle when it is stylish too or we are told too. We are not small children, we mustn’t be told what to do with ourselves. We should be as people somewhat self sufficient in the world and in ourselves.
Evolution not revolution.

Sustainable …
Sustainable building practices go beyond energy and water conservation to incorporate environmentally sensitive site planning, resource efficient building materials and superior indoor environmental quality.

lassiecox, you clearly don’t get the point do you?
You know what, just keep believing those from your government and the oil companies. Just keep on shopping like you normally do, just keep on working for utility companies for the rest of your life and then everything will be OK.

lol i didn’t call you lazy. i said if. and it was a general you, not you in particular.
but they are saying that the tire and earth are a much better insulation than concrete and wood. and of course that’s true, if you’ve ever been underground you immediately can see how the earth insulates very well. The tires should be the least of your worries. I wouldn’t expect anyone to build their own home though, hire someone else to do it.

Well i might keep …
Well i might keep the concept but alter it a bit such as use concrete blocks instead of tires.Face facts most people just arent going to do this….its too labor intensive.Its not neccesarily laziness that prevents people from doing this but time…physical ability etc.And how the do you know if im lazy or not?
December 30th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
if you are that …
if you are that lazy i’m sure he could provide people that would do maintenance for you. Would seem like nothing to come up with that. But it strikes me that there wouldn’t be a whole lot of labor after the house is built. but if you’re saying to build the house, they said they can do it all for you.

Below earth living …
Below earth living has been with us since the cave man age, below the frostline the atmosphereic temperature is nice, north, or south. Solar panels for electricity with batteries is not new. Mist showers are old, sand filtration, composting is not new. There is nothing new in this guys designs, he is just looking for a mark
December 30th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Overall the concept …
Overall the concept is perfect but possibly a little to labor intensive for wide acceptance.

Taos is frozen half the year, it is 7,000+ ft high and gets real cold. It also sees 90+ degrees in summer. I grew up in one and it never had any issues as long as we had wood for the stove.
