Experiences and concepts that make you intellectually excited - Earthship QB Essay

Prompt: Tell us about an experience you have had or a concept you have learned about that intellectually excites you. Why does it interest you, and what does this tell us about you?

It was while researching ways for me to be more eco-friendly and reduce my carbon footprint that I discovered something great.
Imagine paying no mortgage and little to no utility bills every month. Imagine the weight of waste was off the world. Where all our short comings of natural resources were no more, and self-sustainability was daily. Where famines do not exist and no one went to sleep cold. Sounds like only a dream. What if it could be reality?

The reality could be an Earthship. An Earthship is the epitome of eco friendly. It is a house made of natural and recycled materials. Families are already living in the resourceful architecture designed and built by Michael Reynolds. People experience all the normal amenities such as electricity, hot running water, heating, cooling, and sewage. The house is made up of genius systems that work together. These houses are detached from any infrastructural support service. With minimized reliance on public utilities, there is little to no costs for supporting the structure. It is sustained by the design of the home itself.

Now imagine people owning these houses all around the world. These are self-running machines. They harness what we already have-- earths power. The world supplies all that we need. Instead of wasting, Reynolds discovered a way to redirect what was harming us-- waste. He transformed this harmful energy into one that functions, and works for us. The potential this has for our world excites me. I cannot help but think of the new seas Earthships will take us on.

The biggest flaw of this essay is that you only answered the part of the prompt that says "Why does it interest you, and what does this tell us about you?" in the last few sentences. You have some time and you haven't used up all 500 words. I suggest you focus on that for the rest of the time until the deadline.

thanks! i realized this. that's what i was having trouble with.
