The self-sufficient ecovillage with 24 Eartships
180,038
Published 2024-07-09
The original idea was for them all to be Earthships (buildings with walls made from tyres packed with rammed earth), but after 12 were built, they switched to straw bale walls, given the labour-intensive nature of Earthship construction.
Most of the materials used in the construction were sourced from within 50 kilometres, including reclaimed materials such as tyres and scrap wood, as well as straw, cob and earth plasters.

Great project! Excellent example of what's possible when a group of sensible people empower themselves to create a living environment that actually meets the combined needs of humans and nature. There should be millions of these communities all over Europe.

how beautiful and amazing this deserves a full documentary with an hour long at least
-
We need more of these all over the world.

I enjoyed the video, however there were several times where the music overpowered the speakers voice making it very hard to understand, even with subtitles.
-
Beautiful! It's so important to know how to build our own homes. Well done!
-
Beautiful, we just need more trees♥️🌺🌴🙏🏼

I like how the typo is how a dutch person pronounces earthship 😂

The sick dig at the netherlands warms my soul

I dream to one day live in a community like this, where people share skills and resources. To me, this is how humans used to live, if you go back far enough in time. Modern society has taken away a lot of these human natures, here in the UK, we keep ourselves to ourselves in our own houses, and don't tend to cooperate with our neighbours, its sad to me, and I wish I could live like these in this ecovillage one day

Wow, I LOVE this!!! I wish this was possible to do everywhere, but it doesn't surprise me that this project is in Holland, the friendliest country I've ever personally visited, having visited about 1/10 of all the countries of Earth.

3:16 in a few sentences he exposes a lot of the flaws in earthship homes. I was fairly obsessed with them for a year couple years, then i realized there are better ideas the function just as well or better with a lot less work & time (=money).

... I remember as a child asking that same question ...Why do animals take care of themselves, build their homes, forage and hunt for food. But grown ups stop playing and have to pay bills. The animals are free, why aren't we. As an adult I'm remembering the only one true sauce is love, fear is a human condition that fearful thoughts manifest negatively. I pray as a collective we open our hearts and consciousness to the power of LOVE to manifest joy into this world ❤⁸

What you have created is beautiful and I am sure many of us are envious. Side note: watch out of the buddleja davidii (which i have seen zoomed in on a few time) because it is exotic and extremely invasive and it must be contained.

Id really like to hear more details about this project. Who started it? Who can join? How is conflict resolved? How are finances figured? How is food and waste delt with? How was land surveyed and allocated? How far from the city are you? I have so many questions
