  •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.

Vendors & Sponsors

We welcome any local "green" professionals, from builders and

merchants to those whose expertise may be shared in a

workshop or speaking event during our build. As representatives

of our growing "green" community, you will be offered a unique

avenue in which to contribute to the Arizona Earthship project,

while gaining a first-hand view into Earthship building techniques.

We will be hosting Interns and Volunteers along with anyone

interested in supporting our build crews. Workshops will be

ongoing during the build of Arizona Earthship, while our Open

House grand finale event will offer Vendors and Sponsors a

unique venue to showcase or demonstrate their products and

services to interested participants on site. You will also be

learning about the specific products and services applied to the

Arizona Earthship project.

If you have a service, product or specific topic of discussion

regarding new "green" building initiatives that you would like to

share with our fellow project associates or Open House

attendees, please accept our invitation to join us in our endeavor

to spread the "green" word, and participate in this exciting Arizona

Earthship community event!
