DYI Home for About a Thousand Bucks

We’ve been to visit the straw bale legends Bill and Athena Stein in Arizona. Israelis are getting into their own groove building with strawbale.

Watch the time-lapsed video and the creation of a straw bale geodesic dome, at Kibbutz Lotan in the Arava Valley.

Lately, we are of the notion that it’s more green to build and rebuild in the city rather than develop new tracts of land, but if you must build that eco-village in the desert, an earth-friendly approach is key.
