Our Earthship Designs
Our Designs of the Earthship Homes we would build
In Nomadland, Jessica Bruder is spending time with Linda May who has been living out of her trailer "The Squeeze Inn" for several years. At one point in her life, Linda considered suicide as a result of finding the American Dream of homeownership, consistent and non-transient work, and a life off the wheels all but impossible. That Thanksgiving, she learned about "Earthships": self-sustaining homes that are entirely off the grid.
When students read the chapter, they were asked to research and design their own Earthships. Below, examine their designs, and click through some of the links you find between to learn more about earthships in the links and videos provided.
