We came up with the name Earthship because houses have to have gas lines coming in,
我們想了個(gè)“地球飛船”這么個(gè)名字，因?yàn)榉课莸冒烟烊粴夤艿澜舆M(jìn)來，
sewage lines going out, electric lines coming in, and so these buildings provide all of that themselves.

There are mountains of automobile tires everywhere all over the world.
