The self-sufficient ecovillage with 24 Eartships 

Great project! Excellent example of what's possible when a group of sensible people empower themselves to create a living environment that actually meets the combined needs of humans and nature. There should be millions of these communities all over Europe.

how beautiful and amazing this deserves a full documentary with an hour long at least

We need more of these all over the world.

I enjoyed the video, however there were several times where the music overpowered the speakers voice making it very hard to understand, even with subtitles.

Beautiful! It's so important to know how to build our own homes. Well done!

I dream to one day live in a community like this, where people share skills and resources. To me, this is how humans used to live, if you go back far enough in time. Modern society has taken away a lot of these human natures, here in the UK, we keep ourselves to ourselves in our own houses, and don't tend to cooperate with our neighbours, its sad to me, and I wish I could live like these in this ecovillage one day

Id really like to hear more details about this project. Who started it? Who can join? How is conflict resolved? How are finances figured? How is food and waste delt with? How was land surveyed and allocated? How far from the city are you? I have so many questions

Beautiful, we just need more trees♥️🌺🌴🙏🏼

Eco is the future for the world!

It seems like a wonderful community! Well done all of you!

The sick dig at the netherlands warms my soul

Thank you very much for promoting such a beautiful and necessary culture .

This is fantastic. I love how so many of the important details to optimal human function are so well thought out and implemented. Brilliant work. Thank you for your empowering example.

it's so calming , i can imagine me being there

So funny to find this video, 10 years ago during my environmental science studies me and my classmates helped building for a while. Back then we were building the tyre walls and we helped with roofing. It was a lot of fun

Amazing! I wish we could all live like this.

I wish I could live with them, its so rare to find them.

Wow, I LOVE this!!! I wish this was possible to do everywhere, but it doesn't surprise me that this project is in Holland, the friendliest country I've ever personally visited, having visited about 1/10 of all the countries of Earth.

I like how the typo is how a dutch person pronounces earthship 😂

Awesome video. Thank u very much for sharing. Very Nice and enjoyable narration, and very happy to perceive the great philosophy behind the project and watch that in action !!!

I would love to live in a place like this

Beautiful Project. Very inspiring to many others. I'm very interested in how they ensure the cohesiveness and stability of the group socially. It is so commonly the undoing of other intentional communities.

Fantastic community design! Congratulations!!

Really love solarpunk, knowing of how many alternatives there are for capitalist and hirarchical ways of living really gives me hope, stay strong you all ♡♡♡

3:16 in a few sentences he exposes a lot of the flaws in earthship homes. I was fairly obsessed with them for a year couple years, then i realized there are better ideas the function just as well or better with a lot less work & time (=money).

the Ukranian flag made me cry, thank you so much incredible people for supporting us.

What you have created is beautiful and I am sure many of us are envious. Side note: watch out of the buddleja davidii (which i have seen zoomed in on a few time) because it is exotic and extremely invasive and it must be contained.

I've planning something similar lately even if it goes even further. It's called Humania Town for anyone curious.

5:13 i wonder how much of this shuffling is done voluntarily and how much is mandated. Certainly there is value in many people understanding many aspects of how the community functions, but there is also value in people doing what they're good at and really enjoy doing. Hopefully the system balances that out!

Ik weet nog dat ik rond 2010-2012 zoiets jullie al volgde over de aardhuis-community. Ik er toen graag bij gekomen.

Hempcrete would be a good alternative to Straw? Any ideas to use it in the future??

Wow, my dream made real ❤

... I remember as a child asking that same question ...Why do animals take care of themselves, build their homes, forage and hunt for food. But grown ups stop playing and have to pay bills. The animals are free, why aren't we. As an adult I'm remembering the only one true sauce is love, fear is a human condition that fearful thoughts manifest negatively. I pray as a collective we open our hearts and consciousness to the power of LOVE to manifest joy into this world ❤⁸

I love your project and I have plan to create project same you too I hope that one day we will can to be friend and make this world full-fill of happiness with nature connect our soul ☺️ Thank you so much for your video

Inspirational.❤

Love anything self-sufficient and government free. Fcuk the control and overreach.

Kirsten Dirksen must be invited to showcase !? ☝️❤️✌️🌍🙏

I hope it is a place free of fear, I have something like that.

Wonderful houses! I can only hope I’ll be able to live in something similar as I get older. For the domes I have to wonder if covering them with coconut fiber mat would allow for better growth?

every metropolitan needs to turn into earthships with tower farms so we can return earth to the way it was originally.

Please make some connections with UK gov who are about to change the planning regulations to build a LOT more houses- your expertise would be well received in many quarters- if not we will simply be giving vile-home builders a tonne of support and cash.

❤❤❤❤ love it

I only ever see things like this done on a small scale, like village, town or small community level. Never on a large scale like a city or a state or region. Does that mean that things like these are much more realistic and achievable because they're done on a small scale and therefore accountability and transparency are more viable?

Wish I wasn't disabled and could live like this 😞

typo in video title btw!

Typo in your title! Great video though.

pretty cool. I really admire theses projects. I still feel the overreliance on solar panels isn't a very self sufficient approach. its easy now because if they break or you want to expand the grid... just go buy another. i guess its a compromise to have the luxury of reliable electricity.

Very cool:)

The principles I like and thumbs up for the hard work! I just wanted to give my critical opinion because there are too less opinions in this world 🤪. I’m a real design lover and also love esthetic architecture. Well let me just be critic on the interior. I just wished there were communities with people that love iconic design furniture. The reason why is because real design is somehow durable. I saw a Poang chair in the house of ikea and some leather sofa’s that were trendy in the year 2000 but you will have to replace those in 15 years time. As well as the fabricated things that are just not cohesive in my view wich is sad because it seems like durable vision was the base point. Long story short , it’s not because its ecologic that it shouldn’t look good. But then again I’m just easy typing here so “petje af” for the effort and vision. For the not dutch people: petje af is like the same as “I take my had off for you guys”.

Not my thing, but i appreciated knowledge sharing as apart of building a community resilience - a good idea. Also interesting comment on community outgrowing its connections with over 25 families or so. Sounds like we have not evolved beyond tribalism after all.

Even if everything isn t perfect, it s should be the norm

Het lijkt me ook leuk een huis te bouwen zoals arme landarbeiders vroeger: van turf. Maar dan met meer hout en staal erbij dat het langer houdt. Of iets met wol als isolatie.

Explain me how you solve the problem of waste water and sewage treatment plants before I might start to admire your project.

💗💗💗

TRULY a blessing and very beautiful Unity project! Congratulations!...BUT PLEASE REALIZE that those so called electric cars are far away from being a good idea - due to the many environmentally damaging aspects of the electric batteries in the engines...not to mention the regular criminal child slave labor that is almost always used to extract the ores needed for the electric batteries from the ground... Another very big disadvantage is that the electric cars often have a tendency to burst into flames at random... But otherwise I think your community is very worthwhile, guided by the most noble ideas and a very successful chance for our humanity now as also for future generations ! Blessings, even more inspirations and Light success to you and thank you for sharing ! 💛🧡❤🧡💛👏👏👏💯...

people dont realize the amount of excess heat that can be recycled

The music is far too loud. I couldn't watch this because of how loud and annoying the music is.

the moment i heard "diversity" i knew where this was going

Le plus difficile dans ces projets c’est l’adhésion des personnes et le budget. Est-ce que ce type de projet est abordable à tous ? Dans le temps est-ce que cela fonctionne ? As ton asser de recul ?

Where's your forest?

Where are the people?

❤❤❤❤❤❤

I believe it would be wise to start living a way of life using the least possible electricity.

"Eartship"? Is that like an Earthship?

Mailbox #32 seems quite ordinary.

this is what i imagine project kamp would be but ....

"Self-sufficient" is a polite way of stating I am poor and DESTITUTE!👍😂

See that's the problem with anything eco friendly; they all want to force you to be part of their "community". It's not enough that you are doing your part to save the earth, they can't just leave people ALONE.

Great concept, but no animals? No chickens, rabbits, pigs, cows, goats.............

Solarpunk utopia

this in spain and im moving

until the first teenager gets muscle

Very impressive but at the same time looks very cultish?

So u grow all ur food here?

He wasn't clear on everything and unless I missed it, I didn't hear him state an overall purpose, so I'm left to make assumptions.

Cost? In American dollars?

Actually not self sufficient at all (maybe in energy) but still nice.

I want to share my Eutopia idea hope we are not far...

👍

Beautiful. But certainly not "self-sufficient" nothing is an island. Also where is their farm?

Where is that?

Random question about car tire wall: Is it possible to split tires in half (meaning if you lay a tire flat on the floor, split it horizontally so you get two open doughnuts) and then stack them, rubber side down? Would that Save a lot of time stuffing the tires? But then the reduced friction between the rubber and dirt in the open doughnuts might reduce shear strength? Compared to rubber against rubber. What about adding a stabilizer like 7% lime or 5% cement into the fill ? So many questions. No chance to experiment. Asking for potential future reference.

Self sufficiency in a modern society is a myth

"nourished by diversity and beauty, do you believe it can exist?" No. No i don't. Diversity will always lead to division and therefore the tearing apart of community... This can only work if it's homogeneous. Otherwise, all this sounds extremely worthwhile to attempt.

It looks to be a beautiful concept, and an idyllic place to live. I wonder how difficult it would be to try something like this in the UK? It seems like over here, there'd always be one numpty that would ruin it for everyone. I hate to use the word communism because of the negative connotations that are often associated with it (especially in the USA), but this does seem like the perfect form of communism...

Can earthships be scaled up for more Apartments?

watch at .25 speed

*earthships?

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.

Smells like greenwashing an unsustainable rich-people suburban lifestyle that covers an enormous amount of ground. Then the daily communing, because they live remote, required a lot of gas. Which also proves they are not self-sufficient. Where I live, in the same area, we have more than 700 inhabitants. How to apply that "awesome great sustainable concept" for average people?

I like this project. A little research on how green electric cars are might be beneficial. The production and longevity of electric cars is not good. I do like how this village community is run.

But how does your community generate an income?

i think that we are born knowing how to build our own homes but our society likes to put obstacles in the way in order to keep certain techniques secret.

But my superhumans...

i would say this is great, but i would also say that those houses are too close together, part of the beauty of self reliance is the solitude. i think we're not as social as we want to be...? we need space, this looks like a suburb... the best suburb ever, yes... but still...

that place seems so nice.. maybe more during night time =) the only thing is dont make the bushes or plants to grow so much because of snakes and other small dangerous creatures like scorpions including the rooftops.

What’s an eartship?

Тим часом Українське село просто існує 😆

looks expensive and bourgeois...

I think the weather needs talking about more, you have haze filled skys, which will block your solar farm. The skys are being geo engineered and not enough of us are speaking up
