kill the narrowness and spending shouldn't twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great one more chance for. and makes this minute. the reason we call these our ships is because they're a ship to sail on the seas of tomorrow that's kind of why we call it that they're not a house house needs power lines coming in and gas lines coming in and so we had lines

going out and water lines coming in. a nurse ship is a bessel or machine that provides all of these things there are six things that humans need on this planet they need water they need comfortable shelter that doesn't use fossil fuel they need electricity they need to treat their sewage and someway and they need to treat their garbage in some way and they need food these housing units called earth ships address all of these things all over the world and these are the same six things that humans all over the world need to have addressed . living in the ship community here in the greater welds there's about there's more than seventy houses about one hundred forty people with families living through. what when i was little i used to feel like some kind of like a living fairy living there because you know it's so very. very organic very like

you neglect to say something like i was a woodland fairy living man a secret castle and. it feels really feels really solid and there's this sense of solidity living inside an earthen structure itself there's this sense that. we connect to something stable. and cool in kind of see the little to. that we can get them house conventional. materials. is a little more connected to the outdoors as well you know when you're indoors but it's quite comfortable i think to like a few people can not compare you know being in a suit to a womb or in a sense to you know sweat loads like once you're inside of it you do feel much it you feel that you need to being taken care of. as you say and you feel the solidity you really feel careful but at the same time it goes in both directions so you need

to take care of your house for your house to take care of you properly. we just close the skylights which are basically the hut during the day evacuated through the skylights and because it's now night time we just want the heat at this time to stay inside the house so every night which is close to the close it's retaining the opening to release. we used tires for the structure of the building we call them. radially reinforced rammed earth bricks as what they really are the tires are radially reinforced with steel for being tires but that works perfect for a radially reinforced brick. full of pounded compacted earth

they become compression bricks and they're laid just like bricks and they will last forever termites don't eat them they don't rot and they're tremendous structure and tremendous thermal mass and thermal mass is what you want to hold temperature mass holds temperature and that makes it so that the building stores heat. for the winter and the heat is brought in with the sun. absorbed into the walls and given back when you need it most at night. so two buckets just went to. this point you're not going to be really wailing on this third thing yet because the dirt that obviously so we're going to do is i'm going to use a tool to push the material into the sidewalk at the time. i

feel welcomed everybody here and welcome you not just this session but to a global family and had this from all over the world we've had students from eight different countries speak english. ok so this is celeste she's my friend and she's from portugal i come from slovenia my name is mario. i was born in recent minutes moved to puerto rico two years ago their shape was kind of our dream and then we got slammed with this super storm and everything changed you know like three hundred sixty degrees night in the so there were twenty . came down thanks to you guys grateful i'm sure you know we are there to

not think we're ready you know just go back there and help rebuild in puerto rico from their ground. from everything that happened recently from puerto rico to mexico this house this type of house is very good because it's resistant to hurricanes and as as well. x. also if we think of california on the wildfires that they have because you have the tires are protected it's all covered with a berm this house could also protect you know from fires in the future. so here's a simple survival it's the first one that we've built ever and since then we have built several all over the world. come on in you're welcome. so these houses are called simple survivals because of the systems themselves and

also the way that they can be built should be easy for anyone in the world with a set of plans and basic training to be able to build the systems themselves are sustainable the same as in all other us ships but they're very basic and they have a lower cost. in terms of disaster relief the electrical system in this house is also very good for traveling because this is our storage system which consists of a car battery and then it has different fuses which can be found anywhere in the world and also an inverter it works with a flexible solar panel which is on the roof which you can also travel with so with two bags basically you can go with your solar system. so all the water that's being used in this house comes from the rain is being harvested on the roof and then it's getting stuck in systems which are behind the house and then from there it comes to this water organizing module which is as i was saying very simple and i'll show you

exactly how it works so let's say if you want to make sure that you have enough water in the morning for the shower when you come back from work let's say you basically open the valve that activates the pump and they were both in. bed basically that it was full so one thing it's full it's just overflows because we have clung to live around us but we want to get through the cycle by this month again and. this is the water use is it all the rainwater yeah our water it's parasite remind me of his pants over there one of the n.p.r. i mean everyone goes through several filters that screen people. so this this into the houses where the. black water is.

so you can see it's really changed. the landscape out here where it's sagebrush is the natural environment here but as we are containing the sewage and and musing to plants to process the sewage. we create our own little oasis here. in the toilet is flush the pulp panel sucks up the water and flush the toilet with it cleaned that used water so that's reusing the water the water is used for washing dishes then the water is used for watering the plants and it's cleaned up by the plants then the water is used pumped back to flush the toilet. then it goes outside and does landscaping so that's a conservative four time use of water and as you can see the sun's coming in it's winter the sun's coming in and heating the house and being stored in massive walls

that absorb the heat and then give it back and then the electricity of course comes from photovoltaic panels from the sun and the house is built using bottles and plastic bottles and kay and. i first learned about michael reynolds when i was in a college class and someone mentioned earlier talking about the environment and immediately the idea of building with tires and repurpose materials resonated with me i thought that maybe if you could create your out so sufficient power and be disconnected from the greg you could create your own political and social power that would not be so heavily influenced by corporate or government and trusts about personal freedom. and you see i even dug it out a little bit actually put some more of you do we only do a little house bag and. we're going to start another big. i moved here strain

of school in ninety ninety two. and. started working there is existing already. community. ships and so i started working up there. just doing basic stuff mixing and. intrigue level. this is. the first earthship community this is an extreme say that no one thought it was ever possible to build on the site the state demonstrated built anywhere in the world it would be impossible to build a compassionate house on the site why because to level the pad that you need for the foundation you have to dig so far back into the hell that you have to do a massive engineering retaining wall hold it back these buildings just tech and the

hell itself and there's no power and water systems up here the cost to get if you didn't do in our ship how would you power get water and sewage with a conventional house there's no way to get that infrastructure on this extreme slope and. well i stayed because. i knew i was really into the idea of living. sort of taking care of myself. and i think i was initially attracted to like. the idea of homesteading you know creating your. own stead and doing generating everything from that and so this idea is very much like that. idea that only. really attracted me to be able to control. my own power my own heed my own water you know

to be in control of all of that and to not be reliant on any. outside source for any of those things i'm pretty into the educational side. enjoys students. alexy and. they go on and do after they're here. all the different routes so many different projects from academy students i mean a huge variety. so this ken rudin cameroonian orphanage made me part of their orphanage and part of the status and then go and i went back a year ago and i built the first house of the center with different volunteers most of them who i met through us and biotech and we started building the house and we train local volunteers. and most of the children also from the orphanage were participating and so it was just a beautiful experience where we all shared you know knowledge and how we wanted to

see the worlds. was. you know you do you think she was. this is a moment where we finished the time foundation which basically was to separate the whole house from the grounds on top of the ties it was just magic it was beautiful there so you see you do it most with yourself. and i didn't accept that we had a lot of friends over the years helped us out with different projects. you know the creek plastering of the big wall that was done with that and so on damien. and people help because it sometimes there's things you can't do them and they get those big knots on the ceiling and that's a whole neighborhood came together and carried this out. the events of april twenty eighth one thousand nine hundred sixty the historic town of port arthur tasmania for ever say the course of history here in australia for thirty five souls lost

their lives to our governments mad massacre with the catalyst for the australian government without massive sweeping changes to the laws regarding ownership buy and selling a firearm maybe it's time for the united states to start looking for help. and . i think the last to the interventions military interventions schol to those whose we'd be to listen to the learned business in the regime change those who perform upset and take to iraq was saddam hussein take a duffy in libya but i think this is a b. to listen and i think we should we all should. we go talk to these nation listens to changes both those who should accept our limits but i think the idea of regime change military into the shoes from outside the us is mostly all that.

for a man or sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all for different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the us did not shoot around a corner. he is going to do drills rind or maybe the mixer. if he has time and so group to all start with them. i'm going to do the table saw. so i'll take group three. you know. so so.

these get turned into great. to me that i know. that it was meant to be to me and that played a. window. in the world to be many things i think. you know. trying to get more of a curve of your of the story line we don't care and she didn't make. even a lot. of needs you if you made. one of the cans i started using them before they started making aluminum cans i use the old steel beer cans and they're made very well but they do rust over time but we rarely use them as structure they are simply a panel wall in feel curtain wall and feel our forms and the real strength of

a can wall is the same and it's really a way of forming say man the cans could go away and the the curtain wall would still remain the form would still remain cuz it's a it's a hollowed out honeycomb of cement so it's really a cement wall with cans used to form it on the cans take no weight or anything and sense there are no known now they don't rust they're just an ideal brick to do a lot of things with we've made domes involved in arches and we use some of the pack out the tires we use them for interior walls or use them in a lot of ways. so this is the gravel pits and all of the earth and gravel that was taken from him from here is was used to build the road between toes and the disputed us the sixty four. so basically they took all of the earth out of this area and now we're building houses on to it and the idea is to turn it into

a vibrant community but also to have you know vegetation and grow food onto it so basically you know from what we have done to kind of take from the earth we're trying to give it back in another way and create a sustainable community here and we're going to go and visit brenda who lives there right now. hello hello thank you i heard very well the l.s.c. spillway is ok. cool. yeah this is brenda she's she was an academy student born in chicago raised in ireland but mostly chicago after the academy and went right back to chicago and sold my house it's just there's something about living in these earthen structures or sleeping in these earthen structures that is just so comfortable. i sleep better than i've ever slept in my whole life the double greenhouse gives you three zones of temperature.

here is the diagram of the building this is the global modular ship the winter sun comes and heats the building they are and it just it they the mass was always couper so it just leaks goes right into the mass and stores up and then we have a big story of the bank there it's like a big sister sister and stores water this stores heat i've had people in our nightly rentals that we learn from come to me the next day and say we it was winter we went to bed we put the quilt on you know wasn't cold but if we put the quilt down to it's winter. and in the middle of night twelve o'clock or so we kicked the quilt off because it was too hot and we slept comfortably without the quilt what do you have you have a warm for something that comes on and heats the house automatically at night that you're not telling us about no it just takes that long for this air space to lose its temperature to ask for the wall to come on the wall comes on the second that it

senses that this space is cooler he goes out that house that's made out of a and that doesn't have like cement on the other side of something that's going to stop it will regulate humidity and keep fifty percent humidity inside your house at any time you know it might be more you know you take a shower is going to be a little bit more but it's just basically going to go out through the walls and go outside and this is the this is a pure play right. there react. well right so that's a good mix we look. if we had it if we had it even a bit dry you would see this even more because like the other ones will just break completely.

just. use it again. there's a. way maybe we can just meet with aspen. in the us. when the tea is a thing can make a really nice time you know and make it a piece of art. where in what we call the phoenix or shift and it's just a flamboyant example of all the things that are in all the others well yeah we're in them is the middle of a high dry desert cold and hot and this is making the example of the fact that at the tannic all rain forests can be built and not use any fossil fuel whatsoever to create this kind of. an environment so environments can be created on this planet with the planet itself we do not need

a nuclear power plant to make a house or a botanical gardens work. a lot of people think that you have to be a hippie in a teepee in the mountains to be greener sustainable and if this is showing that you don't this is showing you have quite a nice existence without using any of fossil fuels are dumping sewage into the oceans and reversion things like that in other words it's just an understanding an eighth grade under. the standing of biology and physics that makes this work. yeah and. this is going to be.

yeah i think i think you know at least our basic floss of these. housing would have a major impact on a global scale i think some of the major obstacles to that happening is a lot of time government. without a doubt also corporations i mean in the u.s. there's a lot of places where they don't want you to use solar electric councils they want you to stay with the grid so you because you're supporting an entire. wealthy industry and there's a lot of talk about you can't catch water and other country other states say

you can't go off the grid unless you pay taxes there they tax you on solar panels they're trying to do a lot of laws to still control people. here in the aware that unlike the central florida area and they. live in completely average and they came in and like. so you have secret live there anymore and i made her want to get back on the gravy . and that if they can legally catch water on a lot of areas. yeah you know yeah especially for even like for drinking forget it . i guess you just have to do a lot of work around with the more developed the country is the more difficult it is to do these kinds of things that it's industry and government isn't necessarily and certainly not a lot of times looking out for the people. for their own interests yeah absolutely

us they're looking out for their money for money i mean we elected donald trump for good say perry it's all about money in the u.s. it's all about money. that's the only thing that matters i mean it's it's nice to go to other places where they're not so industrialized and developed where there are more accepting to these kinds of ideas. so some of the more challenging places could be the u.s. or europe. like. yeah. i think they. one of the fundamental things that make has been fighting for is to get our turn an experiment of building except in local or. state wide and national building code it's easier for people to develop

experimental harms not just earth ships and now the state of the mascara is scrutinizing that all over again and telling him not to continue working on this sustainable development cast say sero. it's sad to see that there would be a life protheroe are now in terms of acceptance and all this and found. love of the thirty's it's still a struggle. new mexico is known for having tested nuclear bombs for a long time and well michael rendell tried to do is to basically say if we're able to you know blow these bombs out why are we not able to build alternative buildings that don't necessarily you know go to codes but that makes sense and function better than buildings to really know if they if they do try to start humans from

getting sun getting rain. getting wind if they do try to stop that they will have an uprising like they have never seen before i'll die fighting for their. so the first ship is just providing a very clean sustenance that is in countering the phenomena of the planet in a way that that it could make people become more a part of the planet like trees our trees are really a part of the planet you can imagine a planet without trees so i would like to see if you can imagine a planet without people but the way the people are treating the planet now i like to imagine the planet without people because they're destroying it i want people to evolve into their real potential in that hotel is actually being hard.

the family was engaged in massive political financial corruption which led to a concentration of wealth and ultimately the downfall of that country so in america a similar corruption playing out as we call it money in politics some people try to get rid of the lobbyists and this cycle is being played out all over again and so

the question is is it inevitable. pentagon says it's impossible to know how many civilians died in last year's liberation of the syrian few that's off the amnesty international slams the u.s. led coalition in a new report was alleging possible world crimes during the console over fifty. you worry in germany off the new u.s. ambassador is accused of lending support to far right groups in europe. maybe he needs to be a little bit more careful these days gusting. a u.s. crossing swords with the u.s. so the newly imposed a trade tyrants promising countermeasures for next month and calling the move by washington illegal. and u.s. senators can see.
