People in Ontario and all across the world, with big hearts and unbreakable human spirits, are escaping dystopian cities and creating a new and better culture from the ground up. For many of them, the process begins with an Earthship home. Get ready to see 28+ Earthships in Ontario, Canada.

No form of human habitation even comes close to the resilience, structural indestructibility and freedom provided by an Earthship house. That’s why Earthships are rapidly being built across the world in many countries. Interest in this revolutionary form of housing has never been greater.

Utilizing the free resource of used tires as its main building component, people are building their Earthships for far less than the cost of an ordinary ‘matchbox’ house. An Earthship meets virtually all the needs of its inhabitants, and in the case of a widespread power outage when normal homes become inhabitable, Earthships remain fully operational and habitable.

This article is a collection of the growing list of Earthships that have been built across Ontario, Canada. If you know of any Earthships that I’ve missed, feel free to reach out and let us know so they can be added to the list.
