> England's first ever earthship is to be built in Brighton. An
> earthship is a building made of rammed earth and used car tyres and
> solar energy and rain provide heat, power and water. They also have
> their own sewage systems. Not only do they help solve the problem of
> a growing tyre mountain, but provide low cost homes as they are far
> cheaper to build than conventional houses. The earthship will be
> built in Stanmer Park as part of the Stanmer Organics project and it
> will be a meeting place for groups and a model for future houses.
> There's an open day at Stanmer Organics this Saturday (3) where you
> can see the earthship site, learn about permaculture techniques,
> organic food and green-recycling as well as crafts and music. 11 -
> 4pm 01273 620486. E-mail: info@stanmerorganic.org.uk For more about
