    Excellent! Environmentally sympathetic, and economically prudent. It's the ability to create such an intelligent way of living, that sets us humans apart from the other chest-thumping primates. Every time I throw another can or milk container in the bin I think "can't we use these again as building materials or something?" Well these guys have proven that we can.
    If you stretch out both arms to represent all time on earth, then with one stroke of a nail file you could eradicate all human history, and 98 per cent of all human history was spent in the stone age.

    Can anyone imagine a British Council allowing someone to build an earthship in the UK, a guy I know over near Wadebridge had enough trouble building his Eco friendly home in an old quarry.

    I totally reject your reality and substitute my own.

    Actually there are two earthships in the UK already, one in England, Brighton to be exact and one up in Fife, Scotland.
