[edit] Appropedia article on Earthships
An anon editor copied this article to Appropedia:Earthships. My question is: is this content really suitable for Wikipedia (in which case we'll remove most of it, and link the Wikipedia article) or is it likely to get pruned back a lot (in which case the content can be conserved at Appropedia)? --Chriswaterguy talk 00:36, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] What about...
toxins? In most Western countries, there are regulations that water that has percolated through such material is to be collected and treated before being released in the environment, and it is not recommended to use even the treated water to irrigate foodplants. The water that has run through an accumulation of plastics waste is generally considered by environmentalists to rank one notch above toxic waste. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 10:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Just checked - the Scottish Ecological Design Association does not advocate Earthships as there is a risk of unhealthy levels of benzene and other toxic chemicals from the used tires.
