Remember when we've talked about our houses, whether they're ecological or not? We've collected some ideas could be useful to improve their sustainability: collect rain-water, grow herbs and vegetables in the balcony or in the courtyard, install solar panels, etc. In the meanwhile new types of experimental houses are being designed. The Earthship proves is possible to build houses totally self-dependent in heating, sanitation and electricity. They are built with recycled materials like beer cans and tires and are designed to waste natural resources as little as possible. This documentary in English with Hungarian subtitles tells the story of Michael Reynolds, the architect who invented these experimental houses. At first sight Mike Reynolds seems a little crazy, but remember advances in any field are always built upon people with a singular or really personal point of view.
Who knows, maybe in the future everybody will live in houses like that!
