Earth ship another PRACTICAL innovative Eco housing design approved and supported by Panacea. This is an example of architectural design which is not only practical but essential for the conservation of future generations, and needs implementation by LAW and REGULATION into the building codes for further public benefit.
Taken from their site:
Quote-Earthship Biotecture designs and builds homes that...
• Heat and cool themselves naturally via solar/thermal dynamics...
• Collect their own power from the sun and wind...
• Harvest their own water from rain and snow melt...
• Contain and treat their own sewage on site...
• Produce a significant amount of food...
• And are constructed using largely the byproducts of modern society;like cans, bottles and tires.
We are evolving the way humans live on this planet.
We are redesigning existing methods of living - home by home.
We all are constantly making small, believable steps toward slowing down and ultimately reversing the negative impact of human development on the Earth¹s ability to support plants, animals and humans. We believe that this must be done in small steps that people can understand and easily act upon.
Regardless of whether the governments, corporations or other "powers that be" cooperate or not, Earthship Biotecture empowers people to make positive changes in their own lives to reduce their personal effect on global warming.
Our home base is in Taos, New Mexico where the designs are invented and evolved, but we provide these homes all over the world. We publish books, produce DVDs and host seminars to create a transfer of knowledge globally.

Earth ship like the worlds nest concept, show by their design how to contain use and reuse all household sewage in indoor and outdoor treatment cells resulting in food production and landscaping with no pollution of aquifers. Toilets flush with greywater that does not smell.

This upgrade will prevent on our current wasteful and destructive architecture. These design concepts are critically needed to be implimented into the building code and cn serve as an example to builders world wide towards sustainable development.
Panacea will pledge to support their education and will apply grants to help implement their eduction into faculties. Panacea will also begin organization to mandate their contribution into the building code. Please sign the petition here to support and address this directly.
