(5) Project Earthship - Trevor Morse

Project Earthship started in the early 2000s as a way to construct and learn how to build a self-efficient and sustainable home for the average citizen. Once The Market crashed in 2008 the demand for a home that was not only self-efficient but independent from the economy went sky high high thus giving the opportunity to start building Earthship homes in New Mexico on a two-acre plot of land where building codes were removed. The home itself is built from sustainable materials such as used soda cans and wine bottles giving the home a starting point with a negative carbon footprint. The rest of the home is designed to generate its own electricity, waste retention and even food.
