Earthship Eco-Home
Daren Howarth and partner Adi Nortje live in Brighton, and are champions of sustainable living. They want to build an earth-sheltered home from recycled materials, based on ideas pioneered in the 1970s in New Mexico. But land prices and planning laws have forced them out of England, across the Channel to Brittany, in France. Watch how this family builds their home from recycled materials over the period of a year and create a self-sustained way of living. The end product will astound and amaze you and remind us that there are lots of possibilities in the way we live that don't have to create a negative impact on the environment.

(No need for incense or sitting in strange positions.)
