Does any body have any ideas about sustainable development- or green building, or anything?

look up phytopods , you can grow i think 20-30 sq ft. worth of produce in 3 or 4 ft. i saw it on youtube check out on growingyourgreens channel. its pretty much a burlap sack in wire mesh with a built in irrigation system of some kind.

Take a look into straw bales mate,or you might call them hay bales,,,A lot of people in England are now bilding brilliant houses with them now.

I think of Community farms,made of huge greenhouses that take up city blocks-.Workers work 20 hours a week.Many people are employed & there are many shifts coordinated-Housing is located on-or near the " year round organic agricultural production facility" grounds. Workers are paid living wages, & have continuing education options, as well as child care on the premise.Whole organic food is grown year round & workers get an additional benefit of a share of the food they harvest.

Sounds like you may want to read/watch Derrick Jensen.

[JizzonTheDark]

@michaelispan - I think the intelligent fellow making this film is already on the boat. Derrick Jensen (sick and funny SOB) makes me want to go blow up pipelines, cut down power lines and kill off mass populations of humans. You just wait til I get my moon base w/ some nukes and then all you motherfuckers are in trouble. You want solutions, look elsewhere.

Habitat for Humanity will go thru a house and remove usable items before it is knocked down. Called the Habitat Re-use-it, or something like that.

Also this country was built using the hemp plant; Washington had landowners grow it. H.R. 1866 is the Industrial Hemp Bill right now in Congress, btw.

... The only issue I would say about leaving a building to degrade back into a natural habitat is the health and safety implications of a rotting structure in a built-up area... but if it was managed well, I guess it could work.

Very interesting topic : ) ... I would second the suggestion to look into permaculture. Also in Detroit there's a new (underground) movement that creates permaculture or urban agricultural spaces on vacant lots, so people are basically starting to live off the land in the middle of an urban area. There's also been a movement (I think also in Detroit) of creating public art pieces/ sculpture out of derelict houses/ plots.

Research Permaculture.

Yes we are developing a greenhouse supremarket. This is a great way to develop community gardens and divest from Corporate grocers like Masanto.

Also we should be more involved with replacing electric with solar. Good Build!

You pick it markets are very hot. The Concept is that you grow food and have others come bye it off the plant. They have really cool space saving designs for these markets. I don't think I would do that in 9th ward unless you become set up for food stamps.

i would look--up Eartships, that's what i'd want my family to live in.
