Plans to build housing estate from tyres

This is encouraging in the UK
Plans were unveiled today to build an ultra-green housing estate in Brighton using 15,000 old car tyres. The 16-home development would be constructed as a series of so called Earthships -

The things not only recycle material that otherwise gets burnt but tend to be more energy efficient. So I hope these really do act as a kind of pilot project.
A successful development in Brighton could pave the way for dozens of Earthship colonies around the UK. It's a very powerful, iconic building concept that has the potential to revolutionise the way we live.
