Today we visited the Greater World Earthship community, just northwest of Taos, New Mexico – and I have to say, finally getting to see them in person, definitely fueled our future ideas even more…
What’s an Earthship you might ask….
Well, basically they are homes (or anything really) with six basic design principles that define them: building with repurposed materials; thermal/solar heating and cooling; solar and wind electricity; water harvesting; contained sewage treatment; and food production. Each of these design principles leverages existing natural phenomena and blends them to create a truly sustainable living environment, designed to collect water, produce electricity, and grow food!
