I just watched the video Garbage
Warrior<http://www.garbagewarrior.com/index.php>about Michael Reynolds
the creator of the
Earthship <http://www.earthship.net/buildings/global-model.html> concept.
In the video Michael and his team go to the Andaman Islands after the
tsunami and to Mexico after hurricane Katrina to build Earthships out of
trash and clay. These houses can withstand hurricanes, are energy efficient
and they collect rainwater and store it for drinking water. I have no idea
if Michael and his team have plans to go to Haiti, but it seems like this
would be a useful housing-related tool/resource for the Relief Corps to
have in their permaculture tool box.
