Well it is about how we can better adapt our lives to live within the eco-system provided by our Mother Earth, how do we share and renew the resources provided, etc.
This week we will look at eco-friendly building techniques that would involve a huge number of opportunities: waste water treatment, gray water reuse, solar heat, solar power, wind power, building materials for insulation, local building materials, building techniques - breathing wall, straw bail, adobe, rammed earth, lighting, location, efficiencies, heating, cooling, ventilation, ...., there are many things to consider, but you must know that the ultimate design is one that can evolve over time at least where possible and know that mistakes will be made and experienced will be gained.
The photos show a couple of things; very small yurts that are very efficient and very Findhornish (from my perception of the social-ecology) and big "green bling" (socially crying to show everyone that you are eco-green) houses that are built on the Field of Dreams (a addition of homes at Findhorn that provided needed money to the community, but with what some see as less than desirable outcomes, some call it the Field of Screams).
I like the yurt style, but the co-home, sharing of some resources, concept is appealing to, maybe a yurt co-home community.
