As I see the future man & animals need space space space!!!!!

Man needs to limit his procreating ways.......For a very long time if not forever.

The children of today need info on birth control, living a life that is uncommercialized and taught basic life skills.

Very few people out of the 325 million people who now live in the US have any idea of how to farm at all. We have become so used to just going to a store we literally know no other way to get food. In other words the cave man had more know how than we do!!!!

PLANT TREES FOR LIFE.......

Thx everyone..this really seems like an excellent wat to build the homes of the future, & it is so cool that is for impoverished communities like these. That meand once it catches on..it should be somewhat affordable to move on to the rest of the worlds construction. They manufactured a building to house many people for onlt $6,000 USD! It is GREEN, & very sustainable! WooHoo!

LOL......I got so carried away with my 1st post I forgot all about the basic story here........Yes, an excellent idea all the way around.

"There is nothing
in which the birds differ
more from man than
the way in which they can
build and yet leave a landscape
as it was before." ~ Robert Lynd
