From the desert to the forest in just a few miles
In the beautiful city of Taos we met with Cathy Romero, the Assistant to Mayor Daniel Barrone. She kindly offered two Proclamations to the Peace Run today.
At Taos we met a group of young people dedicated to learn how to build an Earthship.
An Earthship is an alternative way of building a house. Their distinctive features are to be energetically independent from artificial supplies, and also designed to manage domestic waste.
All of the Earthship builders kindly the torch offering their goodwill and wishes for peace...
The Earthship builders who came to our ceremony and shared their goodwill with us by holding the torch and explaining their mission. On their website it says,". . . the Earthship is the epitome of sustainable design and construction. No part of sustainable living has been ignored in this ingenious building."
