Habitat includes humans, too. Our habitat includes the familiar - villages and rural communities, cities and suburbs. We are now at a point where we can develop these habitats in one of two ways. The old way, using resources as if they were limitless and disposing of them as if the earth's capacity to mop up the waste was also limitless, or in a new way in which we use our ingenuity to limit this impact. The value is the same whether we are working with rich or poor communities. Earthship Biotecture is one outcome of this new thinking.
In many urban areas, cars move slower than the horse and cart did one hundred years ago and many journeys are undertaken by single occupants in large vehicles.
