Earthship Florida Project
Myakka City

This is a side project of the Earthship Florida Project; this project is open to interns and volunteers as well as a number of weekend workshops and Permaculture Design Courses. For comfort of our guests we erected onsite shower facilities as well as a common area for those who want to camp in one of our onsite campsites. These photos illustrate the construction of the on site solar showers. Rain water is pumped via solar power to overhead barrels that warm in the sun.

Special thanks to the Loxahatchee Roots Green Construction Team.
