A New Take on an Old Tale

It’s the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down one house made of straw and one made of sticks. The only house left standing was the one made of bricks. Now there is new evidence to suggest that houses built with bales of straw can be very strong. They are also environmentally friendly.

 A House Made Out of Straw Bale

Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain. He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bale and hemp material. During the next twelve months, the team will study the effectiveness of these materials in homebuilding. Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw as a building material. He says it is a renewable material that is readily available and does not cost much money. Professor Walker says straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows. [image via google]

No Harmful Effects on the Environment.

He says straw helps the environment in other ways. The straw bale walls are thick so the buildings require very little heating in the winter or very little cooling in the summer. The buildings require very little additional energy. Professor Walker says this reduces home operating costs. It also reduces the effect on the environment. He says the current interest in straw bale houses is a direct response to the problem of climate change. David Lanfear owns an eco-friendly home-building service in the United States called Bale on Bale.

Friends, in 2009 my chosen blog designer provided a game plan and a decent upfront fee. After expending AUD$, years go by so quickly, and a new blog designer disagrees thus I spent more AUD $ upfront in 2017.

Time rolls on and the blogs are judged wrong by the powerhouse. So be it, the story of my life! Simon says you must not piggyback an internet video.

As a result, today 13 October 2022 I declare the video is deleted or perhaps the video was deleted previously from this blog post. The information however is current and there are so many comments so I will not delete the post.

Regardless the subject of the blog is liked. Type a relevant Boolean term into ‘YouTube’ or your selected search engine to find the relevant information. Blog on and stay safe.
