Building Green Part 2
Are you remodeling your home? Our friends Steve and JD did a great looking renovation. What made it something special was the fact that it was done using green home products and environmentally friendly processes. Reusing what they could, recycling what they didn't need, FSC Certified wood, reclaimed flooring, soy based wall insulation, solar water heating and electricity, recycled rubber roofing, and the list goes on and on. We documented the progress over a year, and put together a 17 minute video from start to end of the construction. Hope you enjoy "Building Green" Part 2

Natural alternative building
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
