Here’s what it’s like to live in an eco-friendly “Earthship”

As part of their ongoing YouTube series Homebuddies, in which they try out different forms of living (and attempt to become better friends in the process), Buzzfeed's Niki Ang and Garrett Werner spent a few days in an "Earthship" in Taos, New Mexico. Pioneered by architect Michael Reynolds, Earthships are "sustainable, off-grid, independent, autonomous buildings" made from upcycled materials. Though Niki and Garrett go in expecting something a bit kooky and rustic, they discover that in addition to be sustainable, Earthships are also unexpectedly comfortable too.
