Reduced prices!

Since Earthship Fife has been disassembled and repurposed, and SCI is focussing our work in different areas (see our VISION page), we are making our older publications available for a low donation and reasonable P&P. Please follow the links below to order any books (and of course you are welcome to make further donations using the Donate button). If you require a larger number of the books please email paula@sci-scotland.org.uk with details.

Ted The Tyre

A light-hearted story about a used tyre on a rubbish heap, who ends up finding a new home in an Earthship. Though the book has a little more text than most children’s books (it is a story after all), the adventure is developing quite fast and raises questions and things to talk about. And it tells the reader about the Earthship eco-house.

Due to the fact we repurposed our Earthship and it is no longer possible to go and visit Ted the Tyre in person we feel our story is a little bit out of date and we would love to share it with you instead of recycling the books. If you could make a small donation to cover the postage we are happy to send you as many copies of the book that you’d like for any groups or activities you are involved with. If you wish a larger number of the book please email paula@sci-scotland.org.uk with details.
