Time does fly…
I’ve had the good fortune of handing this course over to Fall 2017 Green World Alum, Alexander Ferris. This has allowed me to focus on teaching Abrupt Climate Change and to work on the Global Climate Change Film Festival.

Earthships are living buildings that are adapted to their environment to make use of climate, water, and waste products. When people think of earthships, they usually think of the desert southwest of the US, because that’s where they originated and where many of them are built. In this video we tour an unusual version of an earthship home, still off grid, still adapted to its environment, but very different from what you normally envision when you think of an earthship. Ron Sciarillo of Pangea Builders, the construction company of the son of the founder of earthship technology, explains the complex systems the house architecture implements to make use of its environment. This building is located in Myakka City, FL.
