green home

the Dome of a Home, which has survived 5 Florida hurricanes with barely any damage.If you've been wondering about energy efficiency and greener living, then check out these dome homes. The one shown here is just the tip of the iceberg. Credit the Monolithic Dome Institute and its 68-year-old founder and president, David South. And not only is it green, but it's relatively inexpensive and well-nigh indestructable. Check out how they're being used in earthquake-ruined Indonesia. Personally, I think these are even better than Earthships, though they dont have the "advantage" of being self-constructed.
