This is a schematic vision of a global sustainability institute/village on the Galapagos Islands. This institute will pursue carbon zero living methods holistically applicable to all the earth and all peoples. It will attempt to establish humans and the earth as allies. To forge a more appropriate and logical way of living on and with the earth.

What is the purpose of building permits and codes? What permits do I need to build an Earthship? Are there any places where Earthships are prohibited? Do environmental concerns influence codes or are they just based on safety and commerce? How do the countries you've visited compare in terms of their codes? How are you fighting codes in overly regulated areas? If I want to build the latest Earthship model, what is my first step?
