The main reason this isn't happening is because the government doesn't want us to... it's sad. They want their dollars.... they don't make laws and rules for the people. More people need to start coming together for this stuff in order to get us changes

omg "everyone else is drinking microplastics" RAD. my 10 yr old comments, "not just drinking but eating microplastics!"

I am certain you know of the garbage queen. Right? Dubai to Australia, she is a chemist.

You know what's more sustainable? It's adopting an architectural model that ancient people use that lives in the desert. Designing a structure that could help generate electricity and ideal conditions with the help of the standard temperature and weather in the area while using garbage which will compliment the material's property to heighten the function of the structure. Sounds really fun thinking about making such thing in pursuit efficiency and sustainability. Helps the environment as well.

This is so Cool. I keep wondering about the houses duration and the cost of materials. I'm sure the tires are easy to come by.

Mike is indeed a visionary and a genius. He knew what is more important than those greedy politicians around the world only thinking of profits and keeping their power as if they can carry that on their graves. They live this world with nothing but ashes of those people sacrificing their lives for their greed.

You think Mike needs a permit for that Hat? I bet you gotta grease a few wheels with the county to get one of those.

I WOULD LOVE TO PURCHASE ONE OF THESE HOMES! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Too much smug in the air in Taos.

Good … GREAT .,,, OUSTANDING‼️ what you made is a LIVING SPACE… out of RUBBISH.. and … and …. It is a HECK OF A LOT BETTER THAN THE HORRIBLE CITIES … and being Mindful of Mother Earth….ONE CANNOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT… KUDOS ‼️😮😳😁👍🇺🇸👀

The people living in these dwellings will still be alive after the financial crisis which is soon to be here in about 2 years.

Become ungovernable ,great way to do it ,I have to wonder if I met this guy back at the ranch in my teen years

I absolutely in love with the whole idea. The magical Gaudísh style plus the luxury and sustainability...blowing my brains. I want to live there!!!

How can I get in contact with Mike Reynolds?

I’ve done many years of research on repurposing reusing, tires and rubbish, such as bottles, etc. what I got from this segment was that it doesn’t matter how nice it’s gonna look over a short period of amount of years the air will become toxic. You will die from long disease and many other complications due to the toxicity of the air inside the organic breakdown process, it will release into the air into the ground and everything around. It will be toxic. There’s no way to stop this. It’s a natural breakdown of rubber tires and other products used to build this type of structures, I guess if I was governor president I would ask you to consider this a dumping area. However, great experimental great idea to be self-sustaining. I’d like the water situation. I think that would benefit America and our water problems coming up very soon and several other areas that could be incorporated into building with normal building materials.

23:14 and 29:37 very good questions!😊

He is a starseed for sure.

Draft dodging POS!

crazy hippie. such people should be treated, not shown on youtube.

I would live in an earth ship. I am very interested in this type of architecture. Surviving as a whole will definitely rely on a closed system in house generation of resources. Every one needs the ability to produce resources for themselves or forever be reliant and unaware of how things operate.

Most of these people, if offered a clean life in an institution, where they're fed, kept cool/warm and given everything they need, including medication would opt for that over the austeer desert. Those people should have a place like that to go voluntarily. Bring back the psycheatric hospitals. It will cut homelessness by 75%, IMHO.

This must be the only place in the world without chemtrails all over the sky.

Our homeschool group visited an earthship in northwestern Arkansas. I was so cool! The front door was round and looked like a hobbit house. To satisfy local regulations, they used shredded tire bales for the walls instead of whole dirt filled tires.

Way too wasteful of space. Each house and its support structure are HUGE. Definitely a niche development for people that want to be different.

The land of the free? More like the land of codes and regulations. Building permits is literally asking the government for permission and if they give you permission then they issue a permit. As long as you aren't polluting the environment we should be free to do what we want. This guy is depolluting the environment and helping to preserve it. He is using waste that would go into a landfill and building sustainable homes. Saving trees, water ect. A lot of the recyclables that have polluted our oceans cause they aren't recycling it, they dump it in our oceans. When are we the people going to take this country back and live our lives under freedom and tell these control freaks to take their regulation and shove it? Time to set the record straight people, no more wars, no more poverty. These control freaks have to go.

America is a continent, NOT a country. Canada is as American as is The United States, Mexico, Guatemala, etc...

I guarantee you , there not going to let them have that place forever with energy companies eyeing tweek city I mean slab city 🏙️

Sad none of them have a toilet 🚽,,

just soooo amazing wow ( and Heck yeah i'd so love to live in one)

It’s honestly sad how hard chicagos car scene fell off man

can we build one in Nassau County New york? id be interested

A huge miata meet 😂

How much would you guys assume/know those armor sets weigh? If they mention it in this video I missed it.

This is so amazing! I'm wondering how this might look like once you scale it. That will be interesting as well.

I've been here! It's amazing!

This video is 2yo as I see it. Sustainable living, and garbage - they are an ever growing concern for the entire planet. Idk why this guy's efforts are being thwarted left, right, and center. Oh wait, I do; capitalism

You’re doing the right thing. ❤ Here in Germany 🇩🇪 we say, today’s waste will be the resources of tomorrow. Building sustainable housing utilising this, is what we will do on a global scale in the future.

only 3,5 mio for garbage so cheap!

God forbid anything happen to my family but I would be this guy for sure away from everything and everyone

I love this. I can see myself living in a place like this.

i want one

Thank you for sharing

Great!

🤲🧠⚛️🙏

I'm blown away by these. And Cathleen is right, the fact that sustainable housing is not already mainstream is insane - specially with everyone fully aware of the harm done by pollution and human waste towards nature. Found a new passion, checking these out asap.

anyone feel free to weigh in on this but I was wondering if I have the pain tolerance for this and A) I'm a skateboarder so I'm used to pain and B) I imagine this to be vaguely similar to lacrosse which I used to play. obviously there's no ball in medevial combat but laccrose is basically people in armour hitting each other with long sticks so if I could do that comfortably then maybe I could do this?...

how is Mike?

So we just need 1 million bucks to build one, that's awesome !!

Codes and legislation take decades to change unless you’re a massive development corp.
