Garbage Warrior: An Eco-Architect Fights to Build Off-the-Grid

What do beer cans, car tires and water bottles have in common? Not much unless you’re renegade architect Michael Reynolds, in which case they are tools of choice for producing thermal mass and energy-independent housing.

Shot over three years in the USA, India and Mexico, Garbage Warrior is a feature-length documentary film telling the epic story of eco-architect Michael Reynolds and his fight to introduce radically sustainable housing or “Earthships”. According to the website, Earthships are defined as “passive solar homes made of natural and recycled materials with renewable energy and integrated water systems.”

Sounds cool to us, let the man build!
