"What does it mean to be an intern at Angel's Nest? Basically what it means is having a great love for the planet and everybody that is living here trying to come up with viable solutions to the next crisis that might happen.

"I've devoted my life to this to try to help save the planet. We here at Angel's Nest are primarily focused on third-world countries because we feel that our system is the solution..., that it would help to eradicate some of the diseases.

So, we feel very strongly that we have created a solution for this..., incorporating gray-water systems and clean energy systems
Robert Plarr came out here after nine-eleven in 2001 because he heard about the fact that there was a sustainable community out here. So he sat down with his ilfe-partner Victoria Peters, and Mike Reynolds, and they created this house, Angel's Nest. There's straw bale, pounded tires, pop can walls. You'll see inside there's a black water system which is product of our interior hydrological cycle.
