We're in the midst of an environmental crisis, and our current urban lifestyles clash with the natural systems that support our existence, especially when it comes to building our homes. An earth-building collective in Baja called Tequio is taking an age-old approach to construction that may help ease these environmental pressures. In today's episode, we sit with Alex Santander, a Tijuana-based architect to talk about building a future that's in harmony with the planet. Plus, we joined Tequio members Diego Larios and Miguel Angel Perez for a hands-on lesson in earth building. Join us as we explore what it means to build with the planet in mind, using traditional methods to tackle today's challenges.
