The self-sufficient ecovillage with 24 Eartships
The Aadehuizen Project is a housing development of 23 houses and a Community Building, the first ecovillage project in the Netherlands.
The original idea was for them all to be Earthships (buildings with walls made from tyres packed with rammed earth), but after 12 were built, they switched to straw bale walls, given the labour-intensive nature of Earthship construction.
Most of the materials used in the construction were sourced from within 50 kilometres, including reclaimed materials such as tyres and scrap wood, as well as straw, cob and earth plasters.

Earthship = the eco-house of future?

"In 2006 our neighbor Paul, together with friend Joost in Sweden, joined Michael Reynolds' team to build an Earthship hostel. After that vacation, he held a presentation with photos of tire stamping and talked about the low-tech design of the Earthship. After that presentation in which Estella and Mirjam were present, we shouted to each other: “We want that in the Netherlands too!” It didn't st...

    Had not expected a video of a guided tour around an eco-village with Vladimir Lenin to pop up in my recommended but I can't say I'm disappointed.

    • @sauresahne127
      @sauresahne127 10 днів тому

      why do you think it is not sustainable? If you charge an electric vehicle with renewable energy it is driving with zero emissions

  • @thbb1
    @thbb1 12 днів тому

    You say there are about 150 people in the "self-sufficient" village. Now, how many hectares do you use to sustain them? Because the habitable surface of the earth being about 80 million square kilometers, or 1 hectare/person with an earth population of 8 billions. That's 1 hectare for everything: housing, producing food (agriculture), producing goods (industry), moving around (roads, trains, harbors, airports...) and finally, hopefully, preserved land. Which means if the total surface of your village + agricultural land is more than ~80 hectares (to make for external production and communication areas), your way of life is not sustainable for humanity in its current numbers. Dense cities and industrial agriculture are the only way to sustain ourselves in an eco-friendly way.
