Great article in the NYT about how environmentally friendly straw houses are, but then the twist: they’re great in an earthquake!
I have written before about straw building here, that time inspired by the New Orleans Common Ground Collective, who was using straw bale building as a cheap way to house returning Orleaneans.
Nothing inspires me more than this kind of thinking and utilization of resources!!

We may have to rewrite the story of the 3 Little Pigs however…

Видно настиг творческий кризис. Мысле нет о чем писать
полностью поддерживаю, такие же мысли были.
Огромное человеческое спасибочки !
Прикольно написано. Почти за душу цепляет, заставляет смеяться над собственным блогом. Хотя не совсем полностью тема развёрнута. Где про это почитать более подробно? С лучшими пожеланиями

I heard about the earthquake resistance at West Coast Green in conjunction with a new straw bale building block – a company named Oryzatech, which makes bales from rice straw – has been doing quite a lot of testing and was talking about the quake resistance.
I had missed the NYT article though. Thanks for posting it.
