THE FUTURE…

WASTE IS PILING UP

Each year, the United States generates up to 230 million scrap tires.

WATER IS RUNNING OUT

Americans now use 127 percent more

water than in 1950.

Many people in the world exist on 3

gallons of water per day or less. We can

use that amount in one flush of the toilet.

Over a quarter of all the clean, drinkable

water you use in your home is used to flush

the toilets

Buildings use a whopping 42% of America’s total energy each year, and a mind-boggling 72% of all

electricity generated. That’s more than any

other single sector of the economy

Cheap oil is over.

Building materials will cost more.

Energy will cost more.

This makes me sad…

Americans have already solved the

problem.

Cheap energy is over. YES!

Now we get to build the solutions.

YAY! AMERICANS

LOVE TO WORK!

Energy can be cheap. It’s already free.

Am I too majestic ?

NATURE + TECHNOLOGY =

THE EARTHSHIP

The Way it Works

BIOMIMICRY

USES ALL ITS OWN WATER.

Each drop of water gets used four times.

The Earthship MissionAs a citizen of the earth...

I fully have the right...

to harvest water from the sky

to grow my own food in my own home

to harvest energy from the sun and the wind

to contain and reuse my own waste on my own land

to make my shelter comfortable without the use of fossil fuels

and to harvest what others throw away to construct my own home

I am willing to die to defend these rights and to spread the knowledge of how to

achieve them to others.

If six billion other people said this as well...we would transcend the corporations, the governments, and the federal reserve bank.

We, the people, would always survive.
