One comment on “Utopia (part iii)”
To Whom It May Concern,
I love the idea of Earthships, but I think we need to use compressed earth blocks rather than tires because the tires must be sealed in concrete. A group in Ranger, Texas, came up with a way to make a 2’x2’x18′ earth block, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_W0wPPi9TA . Would you please cover more about earthen buildings, especially Earthship earthen buildings?
The problem with Earthships is that they are one story tall. Two story building are generally a failure. The real question is how do you make a six story Earthship. To be truly environmentally friendly you need cities rather than suburbia. Can you cover more about the environmentally positive (and negative) aspect of cities?
