It's been about 3 1/2 months since Blog Action Day. It's hard to measure the impact, but I am seeing some of my friends in my industry blog more about "green" building materials.
I might be an odd bird, but I am a Minneapolis real estate agent who thinks that people should consider building their homes out of dirt.
Here's a post I wrote about the wonders of building with "cob." Please share it with your readers any way you wish. I would like to provoke some thinking about this idea.
