SELF-SUFFICIENT HOUSING

MAY 17th, 2010

House-hunting? you could do worse then check out an Earthship. Made from earth, old tires and recycled drinks cans, the earth ship also contains cisterns that can collect and filter up to 6000 gallons of rainwater.  Water is then used for drinking or washing and cleaning and after that is diverted into the garden to feed the plants, and after that is used to flush the toilet, phew! By incorporating solar panels and a wind generator the annual utility bill is estimated to be kept down to around $150 (£103). For more information about this amazing habitat check out homeqn.
