West of Taos is a community of unusual homes. They are built from recycled materials like tires, cans, and bottles, and are designed to be completely self-sustaining and off the grid. Rain water is collected and recycled several times. They grow their own food, treat their sewage, and run their appliances using only solar and wind power. The houses are reportedly a comfortable 70 degrees year round. They are called Earthships, but they don't fly!
