I watched this documentary last night. I really enjoyed it. Michael Reynolds is a true inspiration, and visionary.

"For 30 years New Mexico-based Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of "Earthship Biotecture" by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. However, these experimental structures that defy state standards create conflict between Reynolds and the authorities, who are backed by big business. Frustrated by antiquated legislation, Reynolds lobbies for the right to create a sustainable living test site. While politicians hum and ha, Mother Nature strikes, leaving communities devastated by tsunamis and hurricanes. Reynolds and his crew seize the opportunity to lend their pioneering skills to those who need it most. Shot over three years and in four countries, Garbage Warrior is a timely portrait of a determined visionary, a hero of the 21st century."
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    That looks damn cool. I didn't realize the earthship homes had run into building code roadblocks.

    Building codes are too limited. I have not seen them demonstrate an ability to apply their logic to alternative structures that are perfectly safe and energy sufficient.

    It was very cool. The documentary has put a smile on my face for the past three days. It's a story of human triumph, through the vision, extreme perseverance, and incredible tolerance of one man.

    Nice human interest story, and total outside the box reality.

    I found it inspirational.
