What is an earthship?
An earthship is an environmentally friendly home that is made out of recycled
goods and that is both sustainable and self sufficient. Living in an earth ship
means you can use sun and wind power for your electricity, you can build it out
of tyres, bottles,cans... You can get water collections to use and reuse the
water. You can also put plants in the house if you have big screen windows, in
your living room for example! Together with a system of vents, growing plants in the house help regulate the temperature, keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter.
