what I would like to see is someone building their home from timber on their land and it be a small home. We need to see more of this,small log home,and homes built with recycled products

how are steel beams green? this is POSER city.....building green, where we semi-solar heat our hot tubs :(.........steel beams green?? 10,000sqft home for a retired couple green? I have little faith in a 200year lifespan of hay bails, how do you keep out the rodents/insects?

want to see what straw and mud stands up to in the real world. Look at Iran after a moderate earthquake in 05..killed 30,000 from homes built just with these material.God help you!

This is an apples and oranges argument. They're not building a mud hut here but a sophisticated construction using 21st century technology. The key is in the design, engineering and construction. If you erect buildings using "real" materials like concrete and steel without the proper design and construction, it will collapse and kill just as many (probably more) people.

You mean the straw bale and mudbrick wall techniques that have been used for the last couple of thousand years?

Thank you. If we love our children and future grandchildren's grandchildren, as the Iroquois say- up to the 7th generation- we will care about what kind of earth we leave them as well. How much do you love your children? They dont need so many plastic toys and gadgets-they would have more fun and benefit more from touching the earth, straw, dirt etc so they can learn to love the earth and not value things over their own humanity and true natural relationships.

We will have DVDs available later this year, after the PBS affiliates have had a chance to air us first. If you're signed up for our newsletter we'll let you know when we have them.

[buildinggreentv]

thanks - we think so too :)

It will be available for PBS affiliate stations to begin airing on June 5th. But each affiliate determines it's own schedule, so you'll need to check with them to see when it will start. And if for some reason they haven't scheduled it yet, please tell them you want your BGTV!
