Earthships

I knew a bit about passive houses from my work on Energy Upgrade California and a bit about houses built using recycled materials, but I hadn't ever heard the term "Earthship" until recently. Nor had I seen any of these houses that were actually attractive enough to want to live in.

Earthship Biotecture actually builds really groovy, organic, passive structures that I'd live in. I particularly love the walls where they use glass bottles to create mosaics that also add natural light.

I'm totally stealing a bunch of these ideas for my own personal house-to-be...
