the earthships

the earthships are a community of ram-earth housing just outside of taos, new mexico. they have a display home open to visitors who are interested in learning about what environmentally sustainable and fully self-sufficient housing can look like. jay's always wanted to live off the grid, so he really wanted to check it out.

 

it was very interesting, i must say. their water filtration system is brilliant. and they grow bananas in their house.

 

in their house!!

 

the interiors were quite beautiful, actually. nice wood or clay tile floors, loads of windows, and whimsicle mosaics made of coloured glass bottles throughout -- especially in the bathroom where they let light in, but maintain privacy.
