This is a gorgeous picture—truly a work of art (just like your Earthship). This Earthship you folks are putting together is one of the more elaborate constructions of its kind that I’ve ever seen! The archways are a stunning touch! I cannot wait to see it in its final form! I’ll be checking in on you soon!

I need some guidance. I just bought land in San JUan del Sur, Nicaragua. I want to build a silo style house,earth friendly. Who should I talk to?

Hannah – We have put together an entire Green consulting team including everything from an LEED Accredited Professional Engineer to Green Builders to help our clients design and build Green. To start, I recommend contacting Justin Lyon at Roots Engineering. His email is: justin@rootsengineering.com.

beautiful! I’ve never seen it done with plastic bottles! It’s surprising that plastic bottles are strong enough for that!
