In Thailand, groups at Chiang Mai University worked with the Urban Development Institute Foundation to build a clay house, using trash such as sandal rubber, sawdust, milk packs, and glass bottles. This reduces waste combustion and green house gas emissions, which cause global warming.

  • this video made me cry with joy!  The human spirit is beautiful and strong.

  • Great

  • I love the see creativity at work.

  • So, they didn't fire those bricks before building with them? Spooky.

  • @vevillalobos Don't think that was plastic, think it was rubber. Even vulcanized rubber should break down naturally over time.

  • You should take care of what you build with. For example plastic materials can release toxins anytime in the future years.The traditional adobe materials are better !
