Earthships in Hawaii?

[Charles Moore]

I think the earthbag technique makes more sense here than earthship. I'm guessing the guy in Leilani used the concrete and cinder in order to get a building permit. But the "inventor" of earthbag building (at calearth.org)calls for earth (no cement)in the bags and Kelly Hart of Green Home Building has used scoria (volcanic rock with no cement)in the bags. I have two DVD's on the subject of earthbag building,one from CALEARTH and the other from Kelly Hart. The calearth built domes are quite attractive with thier beehive shape.
