Earthships are not whacky, 'way-out' or extremist buildings from the lunatic fringe. They should not be regarded as the domain of hippies, sock and sandal wearing folk, assorted eco-nuts and survivalists. This book charts the building of the first earthships in the UK and looks at how they are relevant to the wider challenges faced by home building and architecture in the UK, and arguably by society in general.

Using "landfill" tires, houses are being built that are both revolutionary and evolutionary. Ed Paschich builds traditional homes using tires for the exterior walls. This book will tell you how you can be more responsible when you build a home, improve a home, or add a garden. You’ll learn about constructed wetlands, solar air conditioning, and landscaping. It’s all here with many illustrations and photographs.
