  •Earthships are constructed of mostly recycled materials like

           automobile tires, glass bottles and aluminum soda cans.

•Earthships catch water from the sky and re-use it up to four

times to flush toilets and feed indoor gardens and outdoor

landscaping.

•Water is heated by solar or natural gas sources, but public water
sources can be tapped for backup and for potable drinking water.

•Earthships contain and treat all household sewage in indoor and outdoor botanical cells that feed food gardens and outdoor landscaping.

•Earthship toilets flush with filtered grey water.

•Indoor “wetlands” provide balanced humidity and a constant supply

of fresh air.

•Electricity can be produced naturally from solar and wind, or combined with other sources such as gas-powered generators or public-grid provided power.

•Earthships use the sun and thermal mass construction to maintain
comfortable temperatures year-round in any climate.
