Our Eco Bus Project and Travels

For four years we have lived on a self built and retrofitted, mobile demonstration of sustainability. A former mountain transit bus transformed into a live/work space powered with waste vegetable oil, solar energy, composting, rainwater harvesting and space to implement an artistic practice, a homeschooling curriculum, and to rest and nourish tired bodies. This is a slow protest, realistic demonstration of off grid living and is aimed to be a catalyst to inspire social change.

Let's Do Solar Panels March 19th 2010 Ben's House

After a long day with nothing being accomplished at Sun Electronics, Nando called up a guy he met trying to find a boat for a prop. The guy was in the Navy and is very knowledgeable about all things mechanical and rigging. Nando drove the bus over to his house on Miami River and began a long and tedious process of building a battery box and mounting the panels to the roof.
