Hello, resilient friends, I would like to introduce the earthship home and what you could learn from it for your situation and place. Runaway climate change is here and worsening by the day. The most resilient homes for such a world are the various types of underground homes, full and partial. A fortunate few will be able to build such homes, but most folks could not. But there is much they could do to make their present homes more resilient. Have a look at the earthship home - a hybrid underground design.

Personal Climate Resilience: The Underground Greenhouse

This is a follow-up from conversations here on c99 on runaway climate change. "Um, G, tell me you're not a nutbar survivalist." No. Well, not yet :=) I'll write more later on the various options or levels of personal sustainability for climate change. Here is a follow-up on structures for growing plants year-round in a climate-controlled greenhouse (in an economical and fairly low-tech manner.) There are a number of existing technologies. Our family has chosen the underground greenhouse as a forthcoming project. Saving up every loose penny! I've got lots of photos and some links below.
