Green Living...Earthship Style!

I had the wonderful opportunity to stay overnight in the Suffolk, VA Earthship with Melina Winterton, her husband Larry Peck, and their children. I wanted to document this 'green home' project with a photo expose' in hopes of spreading the word about viable eco-home options many believe to still be unobtainable. Below are links to their progress, giving a realistic overview of the project, and what it takes to 'do it yourself'. Many thanks to Melina and Larry, and big kudos to them for taking on this challenge and prospering in the green lifestyle. - Alan Howell
