earthship
A passive solar building
with thermal mass. It is made from
natural and recycled materials, including earth-rammed
tires and aluminum cans. It is powered by renewable
energy, such as wind, water and solar power, catches its own water supply
from rainwater, and treats and contains its own sewage in planter beds.
It is a concept, not a set design, and can be adapted for any climate worldwide.
It offers people the opportunity to build their own homes and make a conscious
decision to live lightly on the earth.
