note: A green county does not mean an Earthship is there.
Green counties are places where acquiring permission to build is not a bureaucratic expensive mess.

This map will be continuously updated as we find new pockets of freedom...

 

 

This map shows the places where we do not have the freedom to build a carbon zero home for our families without going through a tremendous amount of red tape, and effort, and time, and money.

We must immediately prepare for the absolute need to live and in strong, sustainable, carbon zero buildings.

New green buildings are different than conventional buildings, they need to be. Maybe the counties in the United States that are not supportive of sustainable buildings could do a demonstration project.
