Building Green with Straw

Interestingly many green homes, especially when people have been building green with straw,  have traditionally been built “out of town’ on a small holding or small acreage.

However, if living in such circumstance necessitates you driving long distances to work each day or to access other services using a private motor vehicle, this can potentially undo much of the benefit of living in a green home.

This doesn’t necessarily have to be the case though and many green home owners develop ways to ensure their impact outside the home is kept within acceptable levels.

This does not mean that a green home especially when building green with straw,  in an urban area is necessarily any better.

You may still need to travel some distance to work (much more slowly than your regional counterpart) and as homes in urban areas can be more expensive to buy or build, then issues of more than one job to pay the home loan become a reality.

Sustainability is a wide ranging subject when applied to your whole life when building green with straw, like any other project there are many things to consider.  Thoughtful design, thoughtful materials and thoughtful location will all combine to make your building green with straw experience well worthwhile.
