Do you want an Earthship?
You need land, permission and money. Then we can build.

What you get as host of the project:
Two week project:
The beginning of your Earthship that you can easily finish.
Eight week project:
A two bedroom Global Model Earthship.

To get started, look through the reports of recent projects. Then contact us here to begin your project.

The demonstration building is made of local, recycled materials. It will catch clean water, harvest its own power from the sun, contain and treat its own sewage and provide strong, quick shelter.

This is not free, you must already have land, money, access to building materials and prepared to host a 12 person construction crew.

We bring an army of interns as well, about 10 per week.

Local electricians, plumbers, contractors and other tradespeople in local industry are always invited to participate and learn.

Earthship "Build" Opportunities

Earthship “Builds” are opportunities to work side by side with an Earthship crew in locations world wide. Most builds will take an Earthship from to start to finish. Interns participating in these builds pay a registration fee and are responsible for their own accommodations, food and travel. Lunch is provided. Build Opportunities are posted as they become available. See the Current and Upcoming Projects list above.

Objectives

To launch a demonstration project for a residence or commercial venture that will illustrate how the Earthship concept is executed and provide a transfer of knowledge for how to replicate it in any part of the world.

To educate communities around the world as to the fact that fully sustainable buildings can be built and to demonstrate to local authorities that they can meet and exceed existing regulations.

It has been our experience that this is the most effective method of bringing the Earthship concept to new areas. You may become involved by acting as the host for such a project or helping find an appropriate host.
