Thought I'd add my dream house plans for people that would like to help me get this started or learn about alternative off-grid green living. Of course this isn't like any normal house, an Earthship is made from recycled materials (Tires, cans, bottles, etc) and uses the things from the natural environment to produce water, heat, electricity, and food. All without producing any waste that harms the environment. The biggest thing is your bills are practically reduced to nothing after construction, and you get to have a year around garden that produces your food.[Picture Below]
There is also a documentary on the creator/designer, Mike Reynolds and his struggle to get these approved with the law. For those of you that want to watch it, I have provided at the bottom of this post. I have compiled a set of pictures and videos that I feel will help introduce people in become familiar with this type of lifestyle.

I hope this has inspired people to want to incorporate things into their own homes. Lets save our planet through our beautiful homes. ^_^
