    Crew Spotlight: Seth Larsen

    This is our fifth feature on our Earthship builders, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, our featured crew member this month arrived in Taos in 1992, intending to intern for a month, and he never left.

  • Solar Power

    In the past the federal government would pay for 30% of a home solar-power system, with a cap of $2,000. But now the cap has been removed. Installing solar panels on your roof that produce 5 kilowatts -- enough to power an average-size house -- costs $40,000.

An Earthship is a radically sustainable home made of recycled materials.

  • Electricity is from the sun with solar panels and wind with wind modules.
  • Water is caught on the roof from rain and snow melt.
  • Sewage is treated on site in interior and external botanical planters.
  • Heating and Cooling is from the sun and the earth.
  • Food is grown inside and outside.

Earthships are constructed with recycled materials and perform as expected in any part of the world, in any climate and still provide you with what you need to survive.

Earthship Biotecture is a global company, based on 40 years of research and development by Michael Reynolds, principal architect of Earthship Biotecture.

Earthships provide security in economically unstable times.

Earthships cost about the same as a conventional home, but a conventional home does not come with all the electricity and water you will use. A conventional home is bad for the planet, is not strong and uses materials that require a lot of fossil fuels to manufacture and get to your building site.

Earthships can provide you with carbon credits, tax incentives and a higher resale value.

 

The Earthship Concept has taken on a life of its own.

Through workshops for contractors and architects, educational books for owner-builders to build their own sustainable home within a budget, thousands of people have built earthships all over the world.

I wonder if there are "pockets of freedom" in countries like Iceland
(big economic crisis) or Norway? What about Fair Isles?

Electricity

home_comfort Earthships produce their own electricity with a prepackaged photovoltaic / wind power system.

This energy is stored in batteries and supplied to your electrical outlets. Earthships can have multiple sources of power, all automated, including grid-intertie.

water

home_comfort Earthships catchwater from the sky (rain & snow melt) and use it four times. Water is heated from the sun, biodiesel and/or natural gas. Earthships can have city water as a backup. Earthships do not pollute underground acquifers.

Filters clean the water for human consumption.
