Not much unless you’re renegade architect Michael Reynolds, in which case they are tools of choice for producing thermal mass and energy-independent housing. For 30 years New Mexico-based Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of “Earthship Biotecture” by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. Reynolds and his crew also lend their pioneering skills to those who need it most. Shot over three years and in four countries, Garbage Warrior ( www.garbagewarrior.com ) is a timely portrait of a determined visionary. Following the film, local builders of a similar genre will guide a casual discussion.
