The Dude watched the "Garbage Warrior" documentary starring Mike Reynolds..
and so began an interest in Earthships...
Also, due to a number of things that have happened during the Dudes Personal Odyssey (ie, being a Lifeline counsellor, Dad, 60's guru etc) ... the Dude sees some dramas occuring re. the future of our planet.. He decided to build one in his backyard (see picture).. and make it a beacon for same page souls.
Earthships are all about: new age solutions, simple living, current world events, less stess, conservation, keeping positive and embracing the underlying spirit of the age.
Ps. VISITS: Earthship fans can come and chill out over Peppermint tea.. and discuss technical aspects of building Earthships etc. NB: There will be one painting inside Earthship - that of Dudes #1 60's hero George Harrison . For Visits then message Dude through Facebook link
