Natural Buildings for Urban Living (part 1)
Channel: peakmoment
Date: 2013-10-19

Wanting to demonstrate that "cities can be less impactful on the planet," natural builder Lydia Doleman bought and remodeled a Portland house to demonstrate her values. Composting toilets reduce water usage while feeding the soil. Growing food shortens dependencies. Building materials were recycled and/or less toxic. She revised the floor plan to create spaces which encourage shared living rather than separate spaces. She also built a cob studio and Portlandapos;s first permitted straw bale residence. Take a tour with Lydia in Episode 247. Episode 246. [theflyinghammer.com]
