As someone who has lived in an Earthship home since 2012, I can personally attest to their comfort and luxury. My home has taken care of all my survival and comfort needs with minimal bills or maintenance - my only utility cost is $10 per month for gas for cooking. However, it's important to note that achieving total comfort with no heating or cooling is easiest in climates that are not too extreme. In such cases, Earthships can provide a lifetime of heating, cooling, power, water, and even food production with minimal effort or maintenance. In extreme climates, it is important to pay close attention to the many aspects of Earthship design in order to produce a perfectly functioning home. Despite their many benefits, Earthship Biotecture is still not fully understood, even among Earthship enthusiasts. This is because Earthships have so many overlapping benefits that it can be difficult to know and explain them all. Earthship Biotecture is an approach rather than a specific design, and each Earthship must be custom-made to fit its location, local materials, and climate. It is an art form that requires some experimentation and understanding of thermal mass, solar gain, and the interplay of natural forces. While there may be some negative opinions online about Earthships, most of these are due to a lack of understanding about Earthship Biotecture and the fact that it takes experience and understanding to produce a perfectly functioning home in a new location. There is a global crisis in affordable and functional housing, as well as a cultural and community breakdown happening simultaneously. Earthship Biotecture addresses these issues and provides a solution that not only gives people a place to live, but also a sense of purpose and community. Earthships bring people together and create a sense of belonging, as well as providing a means of sustainability and self-sufficiency. This book brings all of this knowledge together in an easy-to-read format to help you understand the powerful and revolutionary approach of Earthship Biotecture.
