    Earthships - America's Off-Grid Desert Community


    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgUkjbMhF18


    Earthships are off-grid houses made of trash. These off-grid homes are fully self sustainable and do not require any utilities for comfortable living. Amazingly, the beautiful earthships are actually made out of garbage. In New Mexico’s desert town of Taos there is a large community of like minded people that dwell in earthships. In this episode we explore why they are there and why they choose this way of life.

    Earthships in Pennsylvania?! The Full Story | Radically Off Grid Houses


    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkHTvr0b_Wg


    This is a story about a father and son team that have inspired a radically off-grid housing movement in Pennsylvania. They started with an Earthship-inspired greenhouse in the suburbs of Philadelphia and are currently building a self- sufficient home in the woods.

    An EARTHSHIP Like None You've Ever Seen


    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONzZORjb0PA


    Last winter I had the chance to visit an earthship home like none I'd ever seen before. Earthships are living buildings that are adapted to their environment to make use of climate, water, and waste products. When people think of earthships, they usually think of the desert southwest of the US, because that's where they originated and where many of them are built. In this video we tour an unusual version of an earthship home, still off grid, still adapted to its environment, but very different from what you normally envision when you think of an earthship. Ron Sciarillo of Pangea Builders, the construction company of the son of the founder of earthship technology, explains the complex systems the house architecture implements to make use of its environment. This building is located in Myakka City, FL.

    New Mexico is but a hop and a skip from where I started out. I could be down with this except for the lack of woods.... I really really like trees and streams. I love this idea. We need ideas like this. And space to make them happen.

    Did you have a tiny home built? How cool. I think it would be fun to build one and then put it in the back yard for folks to stay in when they visit. (just a fantasy for now)

    Was it Gio who posted about this? A woman had one built in her front yard and just when it was completed someone came in the night and stole it away.
