Cool Documentary

Finished watching a cool green documentary today called GARBAGE WARRIOR. it is about Mike Reynolds and his friends and family, and how they are building what they call Earthships, with whatever products they can find. They used recycled beer cans and wine bottles, old tires, and plastic bottles. They capture rainwater, and use both active and passive solar to heat and cool the homes, and grow there vegetables. These are totally off grid. The movie chronicles him trying to get a law passed through the New Mexico legislature so that they can continue their work with facing legal troubles. It also showed how he went to help victims of the Southeast Asia tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina, and help them to build self sustaining housing after the devastation that they faced. It was very inspiring...
