Contact email: [email protected] Definition A geonef, also known as an earthship, is an environmentally friendly home, self-built at a lower cost based on the recovery and recycling of materials. It is designed to be autonomous from fossil fuels, self-sufficient in water, electricity, for its thermal regulation, and even in food The origin of this type of project dates back to the hippie period and the desire to return to the land, during the 1970s. The promoter of earthships is an American architect, Michael Reynolds. The first community created on this principle was in Taos, New Mexico on a 640-hectare site, and since then, earthships have been frequently built as part of participatory construction projects. The construction of houses is often done using reused materials, including tires, aluminum cans, glass bottles and tin cans. Wood is also a common material used in earthships. The builders also take up techniques that have been used for a long time, such as rammed earth, adobe, cob or other walls. Daily life within these earthships is also done in harmony with nature, the goal being self-sufficiency. Rainwater is collected, energy is produced using solar panels, dry toilets are often used, a greenhouse is integrated and uses wastewater to grow edible plants, etc. The film Garbage Warrior traces the life of its inventor as well as the community that surrounds him.
