Earthships

­­­­­What is an earthship?

An earthshi­­­p is a home designed to make use of recycled materials and increase energy conservation. Ideally, by living in an earthship, a person can have a home that is “off the grid.” People who live in earthships do not depend on outside sources for electricity, food, or water. Building an earthship may be an attractive choice for those who want to use fewer of our planet’s non-renewable resources.

The Foundation

First, the foundation is built by firmly packing dirt inside recycled tires. Then, the tires are placed in a pyramid-like stack going as high as needed. Next, cement is spread and smoothed between the tires to create a solid wall. When this is finished, the walls are sealed with a protective coating and painted. Some interior walls are built using recycled cans and cement, also sealed with a protective coating.

Solar Energy

Solar panels give enough stored energy in batteries to provide electricity for appliances, lighting, and electronics. However, solar-powered batteries hold about one-third the charge of energy used in a regular household wired for electricity. This means that people either buy more batteries or intend to use less electricity than a conventional household. Ideally, earthships are built in places where there is an abundance of sunshine year-round.

Floor-to-ceiling windows on an earthship’s south wall also allow plenty of sunlight. It is important that no trees block the light on this side of the house. The sunlight shines directly onto a brick floor, which then absorbs the heat. This provides enough warmth to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house for the rest of the day. This method of heating the home is called passive solar. Most earthships also have either a wood stove or a heater that uses propane, a type of natural gas. These heat sources are useful on cloudy days. During the summer, the combination of the cool temperature of the earth beneath the floor plus the thick walls can keep the house comfortable without the use of air-conditioning.

Recycled Water

Gutters on the roof collect rainwater that then trickles down into large storage barrels. The water is used for taking showers, doing dishes, and flushing the toilet. It is also filtered for drinking. People sometimes build a greenhouse to grow their own food. Water that has been used for dishwashing or showers can be saved if the soaps are chemical-free. This recycled “gray” water can be used yet again to water the plants in the greenhouse.

Potential Problems

Earthships have been around since the 1970s. Now, ­­long-term studies have revealed some problems. For one, without sufficient sunlight during the winter, large amounts of natural gas known as propane and/or wood are used to heat the home. Propane use can be costly, and unless one has planned far ahead, a wood supply can be quickly depleted.

Another problem is that tires used in the foundation walls can, after a long period of time, begin to crack, releasing a toxic gas that has built up over time in the walls. The use of cement, which is a porous material with many small holes and spaces, allows the gases to leak into the air. The type of gas emitted is not detectable by smell but can make people sick. To address this problem, the walls of the home needs to be resealed every year.

Cost can also be a significant challenge. Some earthship building companies claim that it is far cheaper to build an earthship because only recycled materials are used. Also, a contractor’s license or training is not needed to build one. This, though, is true if it is built 100% by the owner, which could take years to complete. Additionally, the cement, plumbing, and electrical components, as well as the cost of installing solar panels, can be expensive. Just as with the construction of a conventional home, proper permits are often needed to build an earthship.

There are clear advantages and disadvantages to these unique homes. As technology improves and new solutions are discovered, earthships may continue to be a wise way to live sustainably using minimal resources.

Down with the Billboards
Three months ago, the Blueville City Council passed an ordinance allowing companies to
place billboards in residential areas across the city, including my neighborhood. Within two
weeks, my neighborhood was bombarded with billboards. These billboards advertised
everything from services to personal care products to businesses inappropriate for young
children. The billboards appeared on roads surrounding the neighborhood and in residential
parks. They are unsightly and hazardous to the residents in my neighborhood and the
residents of Blueville.
Many of the residents find these billboards detract from the appeal and beauty of Blueville's
residential neighborhoods. The giant billboards obscure the view of the natural beauty that
attracts visitors to Blueville. They hide our trees and damage flower fields near our parks.
Many photographers and tourists visit Blueville for the beautiful scenery. However, the
cosmetic and fitness services plastered on billboards disrupt the view. A decline in tourism
will hurt many local businesses.
Not only are these billboards unappealing, but they are also hazardous to residents. Because
the billboards are new to our city, many drivers are distracted by the images and new
products and services that are advertised on them. Just within the first month, the number of
minor car accidents increased by 60 percent. There are new billboards at our busiest
intersections, making turns extremely dangerous. The elementary school is at the corner of
Blueville Boulevard and Pine Oak Road, one of the city's busiest Intersections. Two new
billboards at this intersection make it difficult for drivers to pay close attention to students
crossing the streets. Our students' safety surely is worth more than money from billboards.
I understand that our city needs additional income. Last year, two factories relocated to
bigger cities, and this severely hurt residents and negatively impacted the city's budget.
Based on the previous meeting records, this new ordinance could help make up for the lost
money from the factory closures. However, there are other ways of bringing in more money
to the city
I recommend moving the billboards to downtown Blueville. Events such as sports,
conferences, and concerts are all held in the stadiums and arenas located downtown. That
would be the perfect place for billboards.
As Blueville leaders, it is crucial to ensure that your residents are heard and feel safe. It is
essential to think about the future of Blueville and not just short-term monetary gains. Surely
billboards are not more important than pleasing, protecting, and keeping your residents?
OA An increase in advertisements is driving residents away.
OB An increase in advertisements is great for the city.
OC The city needs to find an alternative source of income.
OD Billboards are negatively impacting residents of Blueville.
