Welcome to the future

The idea is to have our homes provide more than just shelter and a place to store our things. Most of us will spend nearly a third of our life paying an exraneous amount of money for a house. For this kind of commitment I would like to think we would get more than a warm box. New solar technology has shown us that our boxes can produce energy. What if we expanded on this idea and turned our box into a machine to provide our essential needs as humans: gather and store water, produce food all year round, charge an electric vehicle for transportation use, a place to conduct proffesionsal business, energy/heat.

    Hi Shawn,

    I just found this story on CNN. Earthships being built in Haiti. Here is a link. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/americas/02/24/haiti.earthship/index.html?hpt=Sbin
    The Earthship creator has a similir idea as yours, that being a home as more than a shelter.

    Peace

    Chris

    He Chris,

    Looked into the site. Interesting ideas he has, but i wonder what happens to the plastic as it degenerates over time?
