Many people have built Earthships themselves and ended up with little to no mortgage payment. They also have little or no utility bills and their ability to grow food year-round inside the Earthship has greatly affected what they have to spend on packaged, processed foods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe condition of our planet tells us we must now begin to take responsibility for what happens beyond the reach of our fingertips. We must begin to reconsider the source of these utilities, our access to them, and how we dispose of the waste produced. The mechanical systems of the Earthship confront these issues directly. We call this direct living. Source, access and destination are all contained within the Earthship, within the reach of our fingertips. There is no mystery involved in Earthship electricity. There is no unknown source of water. There is no magical black hole that sucks up all our sewage. Instead, we work in harmony with the earth to deal with these issues &#8211; taking what it has to give us directly and giving back what it wants to receive. With this harmony ringing in our minds we evolve the Earthship Systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TT8yf1EUFLI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/earthship.com\/\">http:\/\/earthship.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;. . . the Earthship is the epitome of sustainable design and construction.
