Go to http://www.kleiwerks.org for a wealth of free natural building photos and resources.
Why is exploring natural building alternatives so important?
95% of our original forests have been destroyed.
Current building construction accounts for...
# 40% of the world's energy usage
# 40% of the debris dumped in landfills
# 18% of the world's fresh water usage
And results in 30 years of debt for the average home owner.
This video is about the reintroduction and refining of traditional common sense, on site building practices across the globe.
Kleiworks at http://www.Kleiwerks.org has trained locals in the art of natural building in Thailand, Argentina, the United States of America, Laos, China, Burma, India, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, Australia, Brazil and England.
Even if you're not building a home you can help revive sensible, sustainable, ecologically friendly building by making a tax deductable donation to the kleiworks training fund at http://www.kleiwerks.org/support_us.php

The objective of Austin's plan is to make homes "zero-energy capable": energy efficient enough that it is cost-effective to install solar panels or other on-site electricity generation such as wind turbines.
I'm simply using the clay ideas as insulation, instead of brick.
Wood, brick and steel home collapse, shift and warp. Keep your opinions to yourself.
