Blessed with a face for radio, I've chosen instead to write a blog on sustainability.
Returning to the entrance to guide as many people as possible to the light at the end of the tunnel. (I promise the light is not an oncoming train.)
About Me
- Buddha
- I grew up with a toe in the water of many shores. 4 years of Air Force Security Forces w/ EST (S.W.A.T.), Contending Warrior (1 of 4 selected from hundreds), and a tour with NATO in 96-97. Then 4 years with the Army Nat'l Guard (Infantryman & Medic). While doing security work at a nuke base I met my first wife (we divorced after several years). We were blessed with a son and a daughter. I have developed an extensive and very eclectic network and I've specialized as a generalist, valuing the global view and the cross-pollination of ideas this has given me. I have my kids 1/2 time and I'm moving toward living in an intentional, sustainable, off-grid community. I've begun searching for a partner/wife who wishes to share an elegant life in harmony with natural laws and surrounded by like-minded loved ones. By simplifying and going deeper into relationships we can change the world! We must become the change we wish to see in the world (Ghandi).

Last time I went home to New Mexico I spent a day out at the Earthship community outside Taos. Those houses are fantastic. Also really comfortable.
Thanks brother it's always nice to have a firsthand account from someone I trust.

Shaykh Taner had asked me to research them when I went out there. He was very impressed with them and wants to use them as the foundation for our New York community's new housing.
They are so intelligently designed as to be almost foolproof.
Amazingly cool!
I now wish I'd stopped when I was out there in October. I saw them as I drove past and wondered what they were.
I've been singing the praises of the Earthship to you for at least 7years. Nice to see you heard me. Also, check out "formworks nestegg" for a single family system. The volume of concrete will reduce the immediate "green" rating. But the lack of exterior, little to no interior framing and the sheer longevity of the home, as an item to passed down through generations, means less new home building. No exterior is also pretty awesome. The biggest wrinkle is that you have no roof surface for rainwater collection.
