No worries KZ.....Earthships is the term that they use to describe the homes that are built from tires....I believe that they use that term because this is meant to be an "off the grid" form of living...Many that build these use cisterns, gray water toliet systems and solar panels....I don't think that I going to go quite that far....I am more than happy with my septic tank and standard electrical hookup :-)
