Anyone heard of Earthship?

Very brave going the composting toilet!!! We're building green, but not that green. I wish I had the guts!!

We would have loved to do blackwater recycling using a biolytix system, but got nix'd by our council. We are building in suburbia. South Australia doesn't even have an approved greywater system that we can use, although the house has been plumbed to separate grey from black so that we can install it easily when the time comes.

I hope that you ladies are all keen to share progress when you start your green builds. It is such an interesting topic, and definitely something that more people should be learning about

hi somewoman! It isn't that brave for us as we first found out about them when we saw one at a beautiful bed and breakfast place we went to and realised they are really nice and don't smell or anything. We also have one where we live now (my parents house) so it is kind of normal for us. But did have be thought about when designing the house as we had to elevate it a bit.
