i used to feel like some kind of like. fairy a living there because you know it's so very. very organic very like you'd love to say something like i was a woodland fairy living in my own secret castle and. it feels really good feels really solid and there's this sense of solidity living inside an earthen structure there's this sense of. waking up to something stable. and cool in kind of see the little different than we can get the house that's made it kind of conventional . materials. because 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 my companion you know being in a suit to a womb or in a sense to you know sweat lodge like once you're inside of it you do feel much it you feel needs are 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 your house to take care of you properly. we just close the skylights which are basically the hut during the day evacuees through these sky lights and because it's no night time we just want the heat at this time to stay inside the house so every night which is close to close it's retaining we open it to release. we use tires for the structure of the building we call them. radially reinforced rammed earth brick is 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 and absorb into the walls and given back when you need it most at night. but let me. go to back to just one to. this point you're not going to be really whaling on this

third thing yet because the. well we're going to do is i'm going to use a tool to push the material into the sidewalk at the time. i think welcome everybody here and welcome you not just this session but to a global family. from all over the world students from eight different countries speak english. ok so this is a list. my friend and she's from portugal i come from slovenia my name is mario. i was born in greece and minister i moved to put. two years ago it was kind of our dream and then we got slammed by super storm and everything changed you know like three hundred sixty degrees night in day so. we're too needy kane don't think so

you guys are grateful and sure you know we're there too now we're ready you know to go back there and help revealing. 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 well as quakes also if we think of california and 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 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 but with. that basically that it was full so one thing it's full it just overflows because we have to plan for the ground the water to get through cycle by the flow. again and. this is the water use is it all the rainwater yeah our water it's parasite remotely if he spouts over there once the m.p.r. and the other one goes through several filters that stream will.

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 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 they were 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 own self-sufficient power and be disconnected from the grid you could create your own political and social power that would not be so heavily influenced by corporate or government and trysts about personal freedom. and you see i haven't dug it out

a little bit actually put some more of you do i really do a little house bag and so. we're going to start another big. i moved here strain of extra school as i tend to do. and. started working there is existing already in. community. ships and so i started working up there. just doing basic stuff mixing in. entry level. this is. the first earthship community this is an extreme say that no one thought it was ever possible to build on a site the state that demonstrate you can build anywhere in the world would be impossible to believe that shot 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. it's just tech and the hell itself and there's no power and water systems up here the cost to get if you didn't get you in our ship how would you power get water and sewage with a commercial house there's no way to get that infrastructure on six trips and. well i stayed because. 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. the idea.

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. and enjoy the students i. like seeing what they go on and do after they're here. all the different routes so many different projects from the academy students i mean a huge variety. so this cameroonian all financial made me part of the roof and it's part of the status and then geo and i went back a year ago and i built the first house of the center with different from most of them who i met through biotech and we started building the house and we train local volunteer is up and with the children also from the orphanage were participating and so it was just

a beautiful experience where we all shed you know knowledge and how we wanted to see the worlds. yeah. you know. this is a moment where we finished the tire 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 mostly with yourself phil and i didn't ourselves 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 down with our friends and second day me and then. can people help because if sometimes there's things you can't do that and they get those big knives on the ceiling that's our whole neighborhood came together and carried this out.

i. kid. you don't consume jail you then taken to jail for dealing with the saying i'm done in that equal distances doesn't always equal just tells me. this i don't need unsettle him to. deal with that to those putting in assistance this is also the answer to all the searching on.

i think the loss to the interventions military interventions schol to those who usually be to listen to this in the regime change will suffer from upset and take to iraq was the most a take of duffy in libya but i think this is easy to listen and think we should we all should try to go talk to these nation listens to changes both poles who should accept our lean meats but i think the ideal for regime change military into the issues from outside the us is mostly. what politicians do you shop as you. put themselves on. on the big get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to preserve.

it's a going to be for us this is what the four three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. festive. i. think i. play. live. he is going to do drills right or maybe the mixer. if he

has time and so a group to all start with them. i am going to do the table saw. so i'll take group three and. you can do them. so so. these get turned into a break. so me that was kind of a high level up. but it was at the end of meet me ok let's play the. window for. the things i think about yeah you know. try to get more of a curve of your of the story line we don't care if he she didn't like. e.g. doing a lot. of you need to if you made. it

whether 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 panel why. all in fail curtain wall infill are forms and the real strength of a can wall is the same at it's really a way of forming say a man the cans could go away and the curtain wall would still remain the form would still remain cuz it's it's a hollowed out honeycomb of cement so it's really a cement wall with cans used to form the cans take no weight or anything and since 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 them 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 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 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 creates a sustainable community and we're going to go and visit brenda who lives there right now bred there hello hello thank you oh good friend with me and they see he's filming is that 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 i 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 incredible. 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 law is always cooler so it just leaks goes right into the mass and stores up and that we have a big story bank there it's like a big sister sister stores water this stores heat i've had people in our nightly rentals that we learned 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 we put the quilt on to get to winter. and in the mill a 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 they wall to come off 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 reacted well right so that's a good mix we like this one if we had it if we had it even a bit dry you would see this even more because like the other ones would just break

completely. well now there's a. way to go maybe we can just me and spend. could make a really nice you know and make it a piece of art. where in what we call the phoenix or ship 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 green or sustainable and this is showing that you don't this is showing you have quite a nice existence with using any. fuels are dumping sewage into the oceans and reversion things like that in other words it's just an understanding an eighth grade understanding of biology and physics that makes this work.

yeah. you know i think i think you know at least our basic philosophies. to 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 poundals 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 off areas and they came in and like. so you could live there anymore and i made her want to get back on the gravy. and that you think illegal that i 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 in certainly not a lot of times looking out for the people. for their own interests yes absolutely the us they're looking out for their money for money i mean we elected donald trump for good say. 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 they're more accepting to these kinds of ideas. so some of the more challenging places could be the u.s. or europe. like.

after fifteen to last year as. i think that one of the fundamental things that mike has been fighting for is to get alternative and experimental building except it local. state wide in national building code it's easier for people to develop experimental harms not just earth ships and now the state of mascara is scrutinizing that all over again and tell him not to continue working on this sustainable development cast say so. it's sad to see that that would be a lie protheroe are now in terms of acceptance and all this and found. new mexico is known for having tested you know nuclear bombs for

a long time and well michael reynold 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 in buildings to really know if they if they do try to stop humans from getting sun getting rain. getting when and 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.

by. the church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so something that does not get as the i and then i include that it just is out and. it's.

from the world cup to world war three foreign policy shares the spotlight domestic issues during that imitate in sixteen q. and a session with the public. also to come this hour and i think the u.s. congress debates a new war fries ation and bill introduced by some of donald trump's loudest critics but although it would significantly expand the president's palace and launch military operations. we've gone through seventeen years of war. you would drop this proposal will have one hundred seventy more a loaded gun and a desk drawer of the president ready for have to take it out and shoot it whatever it wants and wakeup call britain's parliament the house of lords is berated open members for being asleep during sessions to get reaction on the streets of long.
