Topic: How are Earthships Relevant to Philadelphia?

Earthship Philadelphiahttp://earthship.com/pennsylvania

Earthships are one of the key factors to help Philadelphia become the leading city in the world for sustainable living. An example for the world to follow.

Earthships represent total independence from anything. From electrical grids going down, from water not working, from giant storms, from freezing weather. Earthships will withstand any natural disaster when conventional architecture and infrastructure is destroyed. The people will still have power, water, sewage and warmth when giant storms hit.

Do you adapt a design to suit the location or suburb or is it purely for new open parcels of stand alone land?

We have been doing this for over 40 years and have experienced most every situation when the goal is providing shelter that is absolutely sustainable. We have learned a lot from the world, from nature and from humanity and its methods of business. Therefore we have created standard designs over the decades and now offer the Global Model Earthship. This model is a standard design, all figured out and is the result of over 40 years of research and development. This model will work in any climate on the planet. That is something we must offer, as a business and as part of our research.

Why do you think people are finally taking a greater interest in Biotecture?

The world is changing faster and faster. Things are breaking, the world's infrastructure is faltering. People are waking up to this. At the same time, "green stuff" is becoming more and more popular. People are looking for answers and when they see ONE of the answers in Earthships, they identify with it, make a personal connection with it and realize the effectiveness it has AND that they can do this themselves. They realize that Earthship Biotecture puts housing back into the hands of the people.
