it's a little to get yours as well you know when you're indoors but it's quite comfortable i think to like a few people can compare you know being in the room or in a sense to you know sweat loads like once you're inside of it you do so much that you feel 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. 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 in the heat is brought in with the sun and absorb 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 church still thought i was free so we're going to do is i'm going to use a tool to push the material into the sidewalk of the time. i feel welcomed everybody here and welcome me not just in 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. my friend and she's from portugal i come from slovenia my name is

mario. i was born in a very similar style and moved to put. two years ago it was kind of a dream and then we got slammed super storm and. everything changed you know three hundred sixty degrees night in day so there were twenty. came down things so you guys are grateful i'm sure you know we are there to not think we're ready you know to go back there and help revealing what do we got 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 well as quakes also if we think of california on the wildfires that they have because you have the. 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 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 ring it's 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 hoping. that basically that it was full so worth its full it just overflows because we have plus a look around 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 pure five remind me of his pants over there one of the n.p.r. i mean the other one goes through several filters that screen. 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 using the 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 cans. 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 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 trusts about personal freedom. and you see i even dug it out a little bit actually put some more of you do i really do a little house bag to get it all. to start another big. i moved here strain of school in ninety ninety two. and. started working there is existing already. mountain community of ships and so i started working up there. just doing basic stuff mixing in. entry level. says.

the first earthship community this is an extreme say that no one thought it was ever possible to build on a site the state demonstrate he built anywhere in the world it would be impossible to believe him ashot 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 can do in our ship how if you power get water and sewage with a commercial house there's no way to get that infrastructure on the side streets 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 you know 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 the educational side. enjoys students i. like seeing one. they go on and do after they're here. all the different routes so many different projects from the county students i mean a huge variety. so this cameroon 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 by texture 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 world oh my god. you know god you have. 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 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 down with our friends. and damien.

and people help because it sometimes says things you can't do that make it this big not on the ceiling and that's our whole neighborhood came together and carried this out. four men are sitting in a car when the phipps gets shot in the head. all four have 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 list did not share around a corner. match geysers financial survival guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into cas quite easily. to keep

in mind l. ast if i'm into a place in the last guy's record. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mater the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be culled from rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent i just want to hear some with four hundred to five hundred trees per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars . china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust.

is a. secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this to do a graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out. the priest says is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard was not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that of that's known as the end and then i think you learned to use this god and. he is going to do drills right or maybe the mixer. if he has time and so group two will start with them. i am going to do the table saw.

so i'll take group three and. the so. these get turned into great. to me. and while. there was a woman to beat me. that played a. window. to be given to me i think. yeah you know. you try to get more of a curve in your read of the story line we don't care and she didn't make. even the law. should we need to if you mean.

why 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 faile curtain wall and fill our forms and the real strength of a canned wall is the same mat 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 because it's a it's a hollowed out honeycomb of cement so it's really a cement wall with cans used to form it the cans take no weight or anything and sense there are no no 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 here is. it was used to build the road between towers

and three spiritus 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 get 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 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 in 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 that we have a big story of the 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 it to 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 fuel plate 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 would just break completely.

reuse it again. there's a. way maybe we could just. aspen. you know. 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 green or sustainable and it 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 rivers and things like that and other words it's just an understanding an eighth grade under. standing biology and physics that makes this work. yeah.

yeah 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 us there's

a lot of places where they don't want you to use solar electric pounds 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 underwear that unlike the central florida area and they. live in completely out period and they came in and i . know you have secret live there anymore and i made her when i get back on the grade. and that i just think it legal to like catch water on a lot of air.
