A fleet of the best Earthship posts from around the world

The Earthship concept may be new to Nicaragua real estate but, search around a bit, and you’ll find Earthships all over the world. They work in all climates, on most terrains, gradients or exposures, within cities as well as in remote areas, completely off-the-grid.

And people are blogging about Earthships and the logic of green building. Here are some of the best blogs and posts citing Earthships in Canada, throughout Europe, Australia and of course Taos, New Mexico where it all started.

• The first Earthship to be built in England was Earthship Brighton, on the south coast. The Guardian covered the story and it looks like more Earthships are to follow on a prime development site overlooking the Brighton Marina.
• We hear from treehugger how the Earthship concept crossed the English channel to Normandy, France.
• In September last year the CNN described Earthships as future-proof buildings in an article covering the Earthships of New Mexico.
• True to their strap-line “inspired people creating positive change,” EcoSpace Conscious Community are helping spread the word about these houses made out of tires.
• Over at off-grid-net we hear news of Earthships in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Ireland.
• Another plug about the logic of recycling what is normally garbage and making it into a home courtesy of fudgeforbreakfast in the spirit of making a difference.
• Hat tip to Our Earthship for charting a journey towards sustainable living.
• Windmill power and Earthships just might be “the wave of the future” according to Windmills To Power your Home.
• And Paradoxes of Whole Living talks about the New Mexico Earthship work and links to photos of a Canadian example.
• A list like this wouldn’t be complete without a link out to Earthship Biotecture, the group who started it all and a resource for all things Earthship.

What about back here in Nicaragua?

Nicaragua real estate. Going green?

The logic of Earthships and green building is also catching on here in Nicaragua.

With the building of the first Nicaraguan Earthship well underway, we think we are witnessing the start of a green movement in Nicaragua real estate.
