Call for Ideas for TouchArt One Earth Bottle Home


Call for ideas for TouchArt's One Earth Bottle Home design.

Think many of you may have brilliant ideas for embodying sustainability in the design and knowledge about renewable energy, water catchment, gray water systems and plants for the green roof and kitchen garden.

TouchArt's One Earth Bottle Home is a project for a sustainable beautiful home built by communities for women, children and families using recycled glass and plastic bottles, cans and tires.

The home would use solar and wind energy and have a green roof, water catchment and gray water system.

The idea is an earthship like up in Taos, but in a sustainable thousand square foot size.

I have been envisioning the TouchArt One Earth Bottle House since 2000 and now I'm doing a call out to all my talented artist, scientist and designer friends to help design a sustainable, energy independent, affordable family home made out of recyclables.

My plan is to give the TouchArt One Earth Bottle House design to our communities so badly in need of housing and energy and food independence.

Write Charleen Touchette at TouchArt@aol.com with ideas for a sustainable, low-cost, beautiful 1,000 square foot home made of recyclable bottles.

TouchArt One Earth Bottle Home will be simple, sustainable and inexpensive to build and easy for our families to operate and maintain.
