"earthships are “mad max”-looking structures made of mud and reused materials, such as old tires, bottles and tile. earthships take advantage of the cheapness and availability of building materials and are well-insulated. many include solar panels or other renewable energy sources, as well as water-recycling systems and green roofs. quite a few are made surprisingly cozy and even beautiful inside, with ornate detailing and a high degree of customization and expandability."
