Experience Off Grid living with all the modern amenities in the beautiful high desert mesa just outside Taos, NM. I just finished building this house myself over the past 3 years.

Don't let the term "Off Grid" fool you, this house has all the modern amenities. Guests will be met by the host and given a tour of the house. The neighborhood is very quiet. Dogs are permitted with an extra $25 fee per dog. Please no smoking inside the house and keep dogs off the bed.
Rocket Stove When most people think about deforestation they think about the forests being chopped down for new residential developments, or for large mining projects but did you know that half of all wood harvested in the world is used for fuel? And in third world countries that number jumps to 75%! So if there was a simple way to cut fuel needs by 50% that would be a big deal right? Enter the rocket stove. The Rocket stove was invented in 1982 by Dr. The Rocket stove is able to cut the use of biomass fuels by over 50%, and it can be built for almost nothing using solely recycled materials. First a well insulated chimney is created. It also greatly reduces the smoke emissions The smoke is actually burned in the chimney due to very high temperatures. Pretty simple huh? It’s crazy that something so simple needed to be invented and that the people who really need efficient heat and cooking did not come up with it already. Rocket stove with "griddle" rocket stove for cooking Yes it’s true…. Have a great day.

L'Earthship de Ger (Manche) est la première maison de ce type bâtie en Europe selon les principes définis dans les années 1970 par Michael E. Les murs internes eux-aussi sont issus de matériaux de récupération : briques de canettes entassées et de bouteilles de bière sciées et scellées.
