A big reveal to Ethan… Landed in our Earthship. Intruiged by our neighbors homes. We went to the visitor center at the first entrance. There we met Ryan working at the official Earthship center in Taos, New Mexico. “An Earthship is a type of passive solar house that promotes sustainability. American architect Michael Reynolds designed Earthship in 1970, using recycled and natural materials such as tires, cans, bottles, cement, and adobe. Earthship aims to be self-sufficient, independent of the economy and government, and reduce environmental impact. The main features of Earthship are its thermal mass, renewable energy, water harvesting, and food production. It uses earth-packed tires to create walls that store heat and stabilize the interior temperature. Earthships also use solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries to generate and store electricity. It collects rainwater and snowmelt, filters it for drinking, and reuses it for gardening and flushing toilets. Earthship has indoor and outdoor gardens that grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Earthships can vary in size, shape, and cost, depending on the model and location. It can be built in any climate as long as there is enough sunlight and rainfall.” Ryan gave us a tour around the Earthship community. Then teaching us how to build them from tires and bottles, growing food inside, cooling naturally, and collecting rain water outside. To become symbiotic with nature through the home you live. Where nothing goes to waste. Where energy is recycled to restore.
