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 athttp://www.kleiwerks.org/support_us.php

Japan Dome House build environmentally friendly and energy efficient houses from dense polystyrene. The houses have good insulation properties and can reduce energy bills by 90%. The houses are 7 meters in diameter, fire proof, earthquake and typhoon resistant, and using the modular building system can be constructed in less than a day. They recently received approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation to build these houses in Japan.The Example below, shows just what can be done by moving away from the standard rectangular forms of building!
