Earthship Basics:
An Earthship is a structure that is self-sufficient. It is a building that provides it's own heat, cooling, water, electricity and sewage treatment. In addition it is built with reused or otherwise environmentally sensitive materials, that are relatively cheap, readily available, and easy to use. Used automobile tires meet all of these criteria and make the basic building block for an Earthship.
It may sound crazy to build a house out of tires; but it's not as crazy as it may seem. Besides, the tires are just the beginning... |
