What attracts people to straw bale or natural homes?
Remember in the 1970s when the energy crisis & back to earth movement started? People were not satisfied with poorly designed & built housing options. They wanted a little independence, not relying on utility companies for heat & lights. But theres more, they wanted a special home, a Sense of Place more nurturing than flat hollow walls give you. Remember your grandmothers home with the thick plaster walls; it had quietness to the house and a sense being in a home where the family gathered in the kitchen with the smell of home cooking waffling the air. People choose to live in that place of home where the sunlight warms them and they are protected through thick plastered walls in front of the wood stove on a rainy day.
