Straw bale building is a great way for everyone to be involved with low energy building for the future. With guidance, anyone can stack straw bales and coat them in a natural plaster such as clay or lime. Of course, there is a lot more to any building project than that, but everyone can participate at this level. Everyone can feel part of a building solution that will help to combat climate change and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

Although straw bale buildings are fantastic in this practical way, they are also strong, durable and thermally efficient with the added bonus that they are also great to look at and very special places to be in!
