Earthship Photos

Keep in mind that these houses are made from mostly recycled materials; so you could use whatever you have around! You may have noticed a lot of round glass which are beer and wine bottles in the walls that create a beautiful  lighting effect. These are affordable, recycled, naturally warming and cooling homes. Earthships also use water harvesting techniques, gray and black water septic systems, solar & wind electricity, huge windows to provide natural lighting, amongst many other things these sustainable homes can offer you.

Earthships are the way of the future

If You had to pick a single home that you could live the rest of your days in what would you pick? I'd probably want something that would heat itself, provide the water I need, grow my food, and of course give me shelter. Well if you're like me, then your in luck, because researcher Michael Reynolds has created such a home. It's called an earthship and can provide year-around heating, cooling, lighting, food, and water harvesting, just to name a few. Best of all is the fact that they are mostly built out of recycled tires, which people will pay you to take from them.
