  • ever wonder why eroupeans are the only race that actually uses more trees to make houses when they are more alternatives?

  • @80spopQueen Another thought - I spent several weeks in Vigo, Spain and was amazed at the number of simple buildings, houses, fence posts, storage sheds that were made of granite. Of course, that's what they have the most of rather than wood. There were several granite quarries in that area. I'd much rather have a solid granite home than a flimsy (relatively speaking) wooden structure. But there isn't much granite being quarried in Northern California.

  • not many people leave the sound in. i like it.

  • @80spopQueen but there is a really inespensive raw material that is a no brainer and has been used for 1000s of years mudd and straw. look up the word "cobb homes" and you'll be amazed at what you can make with such simple materials

  • @lindamermaid wood houses are extremely flamible and igh mantance! clay houses made by other anceint cultures (egypt india , south america) lasted for over thousands and thousands of years and are still very hard to tar down. how is this less advance then the eroupian tree house wich attracts mold termites and animals? with no one taking care of the home the house could be demolised by nature in about 20 years. 20 compared to 8000? which home is more advanced? so no your wrong!

  • @lindamermaid ahead then the romans, Miyan empire, and even the greeks! and they were CLEARLY not white (The egpyptians siad they came from ethopia AFRICA!) . Whites have only been most powerful for the last 300 years! the explorers durring the exploration error were portugese, Chinese, and spainish. The irish people wer known for being drunkin simple-minded people not smart. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT

  • @lindamermaid not neccesarally! eroupeans back then were actually pretty stupid! while italy and spain were having the rennasance becomming advanced in technology (along ith the mongolian empire) the english people were dying from black plegue because they didn't wash their hands.. yeah that's really smart! Even back in the BC error the egyptians were far advance in medicine, theory ,astronomy ,spirituality (they were the first to mintion the gods) acutecture and culture and soceity FARE more

  • @80spopQueen Funny you should make that comment. I just watched a documentary on why europeans were so much more advanced than most other cultures. The answer is simple: resources. Arable land for grazing and crops, metals and minerals close to the surface (easy mining), fresh water, moderate climate.

    What building material is more renewable than wood?
