I think it is the brittany one where it is made out of tyres etc. One thing that was espoused was that it wouldn't have any extra heating but in one shot towards the end there is a wood burner in the corner. I actually like the programme as there seem to be a lot more eco houses being shown all be it £500,000 type homes but hell we can all dream until the lottery comes in.Millymollymandy wrote:Is this the Brittany one? I've only just started watching it as I recorded it but there's been plenty of discussion on Brittany forums.

Oh this kind of stuff is really getting my goat this morning - not you Big Al, but the designer green BS! I was reading a comment piece on the guardian last night about how we should all go without loo rollbut the guy was saying that we should all install expensive shower attachments on our loos to do this
- NO! tap, bottle, old bits of cloth will suffice. No wonder people get so disenchanted and alienated!
Anyway back OT, earthships are fab, especially as we have no other way of using all those tyres effectively. The future of green building has to be affordable and that probably means living in unconventional structures such as earthships or the simon dale hobbit house. Keeping it simple rather than trying to maintain "normality".
