What materials do I need to build an earthship?
My class is doing a science project called off the grid and it is something where you have to have all your systems cuz’ you aren’t connected to the local ones. I would like to build an earth ship for my house and I don’t know what materials to use for it. I know we have to use recycled material…
HELP ME PLEASE!
The load bearing walls are made of car tyres rammed with earth and stacked up like bricks. The internal walls are made of cans with earth. The roof is of wood with a water storage tank and a rain water collection system on top together with some solar panels for electric. The electric is DC power, with LED lights and there is a green house/glass enclosure for light and and heat from the sun. This should face south. It will have a plant based water filtration system for water recycling and a soak away for the very polluted water. “Black” water. It will have a composting toilet and a DC powered washing machine that expels water into the filter system. I hope this helps.
