Green building materials and methods have some environmental or health
benefit. Their production and use mean less energy consumption, less
natural resource depletion, and less mining and processing with their
associated pollution problems. They contain fewer toxic components which
will effect the health of the producers, builders and occupants.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the use of green building materials
and methods requires us to consider the impacts our "civilization"
has on the local and global environment. We begin to appreciate those
cultures currently or recently dependent upon less industrial building
materials and methods. We have much to teach each other. |

Straw-Bale
"Straw bale construction has gained a tremendous
popularity because it touches a sustainability nerve in the general
society. The specifics for this situation are very compelling when
one realizes straw bale construction does the following:
- Uses a waste product. Spent rice straw is presently
burned producing prodigious air pollution and greenhouse gasses.
- Produces buildings of superior insulation - regardless
of the current debates regarding specific R-values.
- Integrates thermal mass into the building via its
interior skin allowing easily achieved passive solar performance.
- Can best be built in workshopd involving neighbors,
friends, and others in a community effort.
- Is flexible and adaptable, allowing a greater variety
of architectural form.
- Saves on the use of wood that at present is largely
not harvested in a sustainable manner."
