    NOTE: David Quilty has a renowned green blog called the Good Human and is my guest blogger for the day. This story is in 2 parts. Last year before we moved to Taos, NM full-time, we stayed at an earthship for a vacation. Earthships are the brainchild of Michael Reynolds, who started a community of them out here on the mesa. They are 100% off the grid, collect their own water, and use passive solar heating and cooling in order to keep residents comfortable. Well, I talked to the homeowner of the one we stayed in so that I could post pictures and talk about our experience, so let's take a look at our stay in the HelioHouse earthship, about 15 minutes from Taos Plaza.
