Great to read your take on Earthships and the logic behind off the grid green living. We've just hosted Mike Reynolds from Earthship Biotecture here in Nicaragua where we are building the first Earthship in Nicaragua. We are keeping a day to day construction blog. We're currently on Day 26 of what we hope will be the start of a green movement in nicaragua real estate. The project is being run hand in hand with the local community of Carizal just south of the fishing town of San Juan del Sur on Nicaragua's pacific coast. We are planning some tours later this year - hand in hand with the team from Earthship Biotecture and the local communinty - where people can get involved with building an Earthship here in Nicaragua.

Really, I never heard that. When I lived there I knew folks who said they rocked. Of course I also don’t agree with most of the people behind housing codes. We had trouble installing a composting toilet even – due to codes and regs. Their website appears to show that they’re still at the Taos location though. Hmmm. Maybe someone will come from the company and say something – I’ll look it up though too. Still, like I said codes are sometimes irrelevant and useless when it comes to eco-standards.

Didn’t the NM site of the Earthships get shut down by local authorities? Code violations and all that?
I think the owners and builders were locked in serious bureocratic entanglements. What a pity!
