Hide Description
Another method of sustainable living is to build sustainable. This earth wall, still under construction, is made of bricks of sand, straw, and clay. It takes less energy to create this than concrete or steel, and most of these earth materials are waste products of the construction industry anyway. Plus, this kind of construction can offer better insulation in summer and winter. Seems like a no-brainer!
