New Mexico residents are trying to a break free from Los Alamos’ nuclear
legacy by creating more environmentally sound ways of living. At the forefront
of this struggle is renegade architect Michael Reynolds, creator of radically
sustainable living options through a process called "Earthship Biotecture."
Reynolds’ solar homes are created from natural and recycled materials, including
aluminum cans, plastic bottles and used tires. These off-the-grid homes minimize
their reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels by harnessing their energy
from the sun and wind turbines. In Taos, New Mexico, Reynolds gives Democracy Now a tour of
one of the sustainable-living homes he created.
