Earthship Design Principles

Earthship Biotecture creates buildings that... * Heat and cool themselves naturally via solar/thermal dynamics * Collect their own power from the sun and wind * Harvest their own water from rain and snow melt * Contain and treat their own sewage on site * Produce food in significant quantities * Utilize materials that are byproducts of modern society like cans, bottles and tires

Great if youre a Rothschild or some other aristocrat with land, money and transport who can bribe the local council to let u build it. Not so great if you are the rest of the population who haven't got a penny to your name and have to live in rented accommodation. Technical solutions are not the issue; governments have to go before the people will be able to enjoy sustainable living.

Brits need to rid themslevs of their Royals, minions, and help them to rejoin human society by labouring building Earthships, instead of feeding off the plight of the common people. If they have ANY compassions for "their people" they would give lands in kindness to the nation.

@lra1983 Get rid of your Royals and their minions, make them labour building Earthships, and once they get the idea, they can live in the rubbish bins beside valued animal shelters and barns beside the new home. As for YOU, you need to learn from Michael Ruppert, before your internet, cellphones, and electronics fail.

Then live without internet or a phone

Use less pumps, they are expensive, manufactured components that will require replacing with time. Use more gravity fed pressure systems. This will require you to build taller buildings. Alternatively you could use elevated water storage, with the water being lifted by means mechanical or evaporatory.

Great informative video just upgrade the resolution. ♥ the concept but at the moment too pricey for me. I would need to buy land then build the earthship.
