Growing a Greener World

Last week we had Joe Lamp'l, host and executive producer of Growing a Greener World® and his cameraman/director Carl Pennington from Georgia over for the day to tape a segment for their show. We had a lot of fun with them and can't wait to watch our episode on October 19th! They have a really great show about sustainability and gardening, and are on their 4th season. All of their episodes are worth checking out, and are posted online here:

FAQs:

How many tires, cans, and bottles did you use?

We have estimated about 800 tires; 15,000 cans; and 3,000 glass bottles.
Did you have any issues with the town or your community?

Luckily, no! Our town was wonderful with this process. We really didn't face any roadblocks with our build, besides the state law of having this giant conventional septic system. Since most of the water is used and contained in the house the 330-gallon-a-day tank we had to install is overkill. Our neighbors and community members appear to like us and our earthship!

Why did you do this?

Because it's a neat concept, very rewarding, and just makes a lot of sense. It is self-sustaining and we want to feel safe and independent. We are young, don't have a family yet, have summers off both being teachers, and just decided to go for it!
