Important Note: With the addition of a thermal storage system, (i.e. a hot water tank or tank filled with veggie oil) one could store heat for days, and use it during periods of darkness and on cloudy days. Could you heat your home with just one unit? Live small. Stay warm.

Heat your house with car tyres and earth Energy hungry America teaches the world how to build ecological houses. A dirt cheap and 100 percent ecological house that has all the comforts of an ordinary home, without being connected to the electricity grid, waterworks, sewer system or the natural gas network. It does exist, but in most countries, building one is not allowed. An Earthship is a completely self-sufficient house that has a natural temperature regulation, without the use of a heating system. This autumn, the British coastal city of Brighton approved the construction of 16 Earthships. "The ecological damage produced by a traditional house is not only the consequence of the energy used during its lifetime, but also through the building materials required to construct it."

That is education and animation working together to teach students everywhere, everything they ever wanted to know.

Educators need to decide which tool is best for them. One of the easiest ways to animate, however, isn’t with your own camera and modeling clay, it’s with your links to sites that hand you everything within their own forums.

11 terrifically tiny homes I'm seeing ALOT of negativity here an no one is looking on the bright side. Sure it's small but look at the amount of money you would save per year in this house rather than in a regular sized home, hell even a single family home for that matter, not even a 1 bedroom apartment would save you this kind of money! Everyone's worried about having BIG THIS AND BIG THAT! What ever happened to enjoying the simple things in life? Having a house like this could essentially eliminate alot of financial woes that the majority of our nation is having. If you want to have kids its a no brainer make a small addition to the house each time you have a kid OR who really uses their garage anymore for their cars?
