He likes to boast that his creations have a total annual utility bill of a mere $100. Reynolds, who is featured in Oliver Hodge’s recent documentary, “Garbage Warrior,” also runs workshops where he teaches people how to build their own earth-friendly houses, but for those who’d rather figure it out themselves, there’s his three-volume step-by-step series on how to build your own Earthship.
