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

"Homeowner" term nowadays is just a fancy term that strokes your ego. More accurately you are a HOMEDEBTOR. People are getting into 30 year loans with banks. The home is not yours until you have finished repaying it completely. You don't pay the mortgage for 3 months, and the bank is going to take it away from you. And to top it off, most homes are disposable. Aftter 30 years, when it is finally yours, the home has already started to deteriorate.

Um.. I truly enjoy a good video about building with natural resources, and living in harmony with your surroundings. I am sick to freaking DEATH however, of arbitrary statistics that are obviously bullshit.Those figures were at LEAST rounded off before being presented, and the very first number (95% of forests GONE!) was completely bogus, and only a fool would believe it.

Show us something that isn't filthy with lies, maybe that would be nice in today's daily life.

You overripe crotch lesion.

Hobbism : the Hobbesian theory that absolutism in government is necessary to prevent the war of each against all to which natural selfishness inevitably leads Mankind.

@Indygoguy I think you have a reading disorder, I STATE clearly THEY WILL NOT BE WORKING PERIOD.

THEY WILL NOT HAVE JOBS long enough in poor paid erratic work to pay off morgages even if the banksters start giving money away again etc. GET A BRAIN would help you in this matter,

[Indygoguy]

@nbm34 People of the "next generation" will be working their whole lives. What a stupid thing to say they wont be employed for 30 years.

@jorgedominguez2007 and actually, even after "paid off" you still can "lose" the home if you don't pay the taxes on the property.

White man is the Devil. Game over.

@jorgedominguez2007 brilliant ANALYSIS of why owning homes through the BANKSTER system is an illusion.

People of the next generation will not have jobs long enough to pay off 30 years morgages etc.

Well said
