Earthships

Earthships are sustainable, eco-friendly homes designed to operate independently of public utilities. Built primarily from recycled materials like tires and bottles, they feature thick walls for insulation and thermal mass, maintaining stable indoor temperatures. These homes harness solar and wind energy for electricity, collect rainwater, and treat wastewater naturally. Earthships aim to reduce environmental impact by minimizing energy and water use while providing a self-sufficient living space. Their design encourages harmony with nature, often including food-growing systems within or around the home, making them a practical model for environmentally responsible living.
