Building with Tires, Cans and Bottles:
A Michael Reynold’s design and built home. The construction methods are not new; this type of construction is closely related to indigenous building methods that have been used for centuries. However, an architect and builder in New Mexico, Michael Reynolds, is the visionary behind building with garbage. He has been using old tires, cans and bottles for decades, to create homes that are entirely self-sustaining and off the grid.
Can a family live high in the mountains of Western Montana, build a solar-powered home that uses no outside energy sources and still have a decent quality of life? The Leonard family thinks so.

I find your blog inspiring, so I nominated you for the liebster blog awards! Just though I would let you know.

Whoa, there’s some really cool stuff in this post. Thanks! I love that people are starting to see the feasibility of self-sustainability. Starting small leaves nowhere to go but bigger… there are some other, larger self-sustaining communities that are proving this point, such as the Danish island of Samsø: http://www.smart-urban-stage.com/blog/post/energy-island/ Green living requires dedication and full-hearted support, because we’re looking to turn around generations of economic and cultural dependence on oil.
