Our Earthship is earth sheltered and uses the sun to maintain a comfortable temperature in the dwelling. It also uses the sun to power the systems of the house. We will recycle gray water from the sinks and showers and use that water to grow food inside the dwelling. Left over recycled water will be used to flush the toilet. We need to make frugal use of our water supply because we depend upon our Earthship to capture our water supply from the sky.
Water is stored in a cistern and filtered when needed.
Soft clean water is truly a blessing and a pleasure to bath in as well as to consume. Since we have a lot of technical folks in this company, at least some of you will be interested in how a sustainable Earthship is constructed. Our Earthship and most other Earthships are constructed of old worn out car tires and beer cans. The beer sustains the construction crew while building and the containers are then recycled for building materials. Our Earthship has no foundation, because a foundation is not required.
