Oregon and Nebraska

I am so lucky to be meeting so many inspirational people in the natural building world. Last Tuesday I had a couple of hours in the company of Andrew Morrison, a straw bale builder with years of commercial experience who now takes workshops around the world. www.strawbale.com On Wednesday I met with Eden Brukman from the International Living Building Institute www.ilbi.org which is committed to a truly sustainable built environment. Their program goes beyond materials. It envisions a future that is "socially just, culturally rich and ecologically benign".

In snowy Nebraska I have been attending a conference organised by the Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society. There have been several excellent speakers at this event so I will write a separate report for the website to share all that I have heard here.

My guide here in Lincoln, is the wonderful Joyce Coppinger, editor of The Last Straw www.thelaststraw.org She has had a booth at the conference to promote straw bale building and we have been out this afternoon to see the straw bale Audubon Centre at Spring Creek Prairie www.sprincreekprairie.org and a straw bale classroom at a Montessori school. This is Joyce and I at the conference

Hi! Nice to see this blog post about your meeting with Andrew! This is Gabriella, Andrew's wife. We were wondering if you would be interested in displaying one of our straw bale workshop ads on your blog. It's such a great site with really good info. It's pretty easy to do. We would set you up as an affiliate and you would receive access to getting an ad with code generated just for you that you can embed on your site. Anytime that someone pays for a workshop deposit, you'll get paid $100. If this sounds good to you, email me back at gabriella@strawbale.com.

Cheers,

Gabriella
