Effecient Living- Earthships

Rapidly growing, our family visited some different types of homes. While looking we discussed our options, of what attributes ranked importance for us. We visited an earthship which consolidates waste; self generates, and lessens dependency of the grid. We chose to build an Earthship that helps the earth, cost effective, and higher efficiency than a standard house. While building we tested different methods of efficiency in our home, making our earthship have a lighter carbon footprint. Options were limitless, both efficient and resulting with being "light footed." Commencing this grand project our lives were highly affected; over viewing limitless designs we chose the economical, simple, spilt level design. We started saving for land, but building our Earthship and still working created problems when completing goals on a schedule. Our family eagerly waited for Earthship living to commence. Like all situations we, took risks, sacrificed, and adapted reaching a lighter footprint.

  1. I'm starting my earthship adventure and I'm still in the designing faze but I'm researching materials to get an idea of budgeting. Where were you able to find tires and glass bottle at an affordable price?
