Earthship constructed by Students of Civil Engineering Department

Earthship is an economical, sustainable and eco-friendly infrastructure built mostly using recyclable material like rubber, bottles, plastic etc. The structure is eco-friendly in a way that it uses Earth's natural renewable resources for its utility like Sun to keep the structure warm, rain for water using Rain water harvesting and use plants to treat their sewage. These structures heat and cool themselves on their own.
