Picture: People Constructing an Earthship Home
A lot of Earthship enthusiasts have been waiting for the Garbage Warriors first visit to Australia and we don't need to wait any more.
Michael Reynolds is about to visit our shores and share his sustainable principles to audience participants. Michael is one of those unique breeds of architects who moved away from the mainstream to experiment with building sustainable housing and communities and returning to a more holistic way of living. It is a simple life philosophy that encourages people to use recycled materials to build their homes and to do no harm to their immediate environment.
For over 40 years, architect Michael Reynolds has been teaching the world how to live sustainably, promoting a holistic way of living that involves natural and recycled materials, renewable energy and self-generated food and water supplies. Michael is a highly successful author, and has inspired a recent documentary, 'Garbage Warrior,' which celebrates his life and work.

Michael designs and builds homes that heat and cool themselves and built from natural and recycled materials, produce their own electricity, collect their own water, treat their own sewage and grow their own food. He is the initiator of 3 off-grid communities and travels with his team around the world demonstrating Earthship/sustainable principles.
Michael’s recent international projects include: a teahouse in the Netherlands, a sustainable home in Nicaragua, an eco resort in Jamaica, hurricane relief in Mexico, tsunami relief in India, a residence in France and demonstrations in England, Scotland, Norway, Spain, Japan, Bolivia, Bonaire and Honduras.

I've heard there's an Earthship in Melbourne. Do you have any details on where, and if it is ever open to the public? I'd love to visit.
Kymbos.
