Earthship Movie Screening and Lecture with Jonah Reynolds featuring Sustainable Building Design

STOCKTON UNIVERSITY HOSTS

“EARTHSHIPS: BUILDING A BETTER TOMORROW TODAY”

APRIL 7, 2016 CAMPUS CENTER

Stockton University will host a multi-media interactive lecture, Earthship360, presented by Jonah Reynolds, a

spokesperson and designer/builder of the modern sustainable buildings, on Thursday, April 7, 4:40pm-6:00pm.

Mr. Reynolds’ company, Earthship360, based near Philadelphia, PA, designs and builds structures that allow

individuals, communities, cities, and entire regions to live as independently and as possible.

The discussion will focus on sustainable, passive building design and construction for single family, multi-family

and communities – and will include a Q&A.

The documentary short, New Solutions, will screen at the lecture. An inspiring and personal story about a

group of people building sustainable housing in the Baja California peninsula in Mexico, it also serves as an

introductory guide to building alternative sustainable housing, as well as describing with the use of animation,

how these buildings offer solutions to today’s most important issues like: energy,water,food, shelter, sewage

and recycling.

Locally, Earthship360 is partnering with the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) to construct

a sustainable visitor center at the ACUA’s wind and solar farm in Atlantic City. Dubbed the ACUA Sustainable

Living Research Center, the structure will offer students of all ages the opportunity to study the leading edge

sustainable technologies and designs first hand. The Research Center will demonstrate the principles of

sustainability and inspire visitors to enhance their own quality of life, while reducing the impact of human

activity on the planet.

This University event is the first at Stockton, which extended the invitation to Mr. Reynolds whose company is

involved in several building projects in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, two of which are for non-profit

organizations that focus on efforts that will unite communities, create opportunities for less fortunate citizens of

Philadelphia and decrease crime.

Admission free. University Center. 101 Vera King Farris Dr., Galloway, New Jersey 08205.

The earthship concept was created by Michael Reynolds whose company, Earth ship Biotecture is based in

Taos, New Mexico. Jonah Reynolds, learned the craft literally, from his dad starting when he was a toddler. He

has accompanied Michael Reynolds and coordinated building projects, multi-day seminars, lectures and other

Earthship-related activities in the United States and throughout the world. Jonah’s Philadelphia based

company brings Earthship360 offerings directly to the mid-Atlantic area on a permanent basis. It offers a full

suite of design and construction services individually tailored to the requirements of each project. The

company’s expertise is derived from decades of experience on all sides of the design / build equation.
