Question by Beth: What are some books that teach you how to build Eco Friendly homes?
Im working on a plan to build a very small ECO FRIENDLY house. Its so little the correct term for it should be a shack. I want to buy some books that teach me how to build a house but in a completely eco friendly way. I want the house to be very Earthy and be close to the earth in perspective. I would prefer a book that shows me how to reuse discarded materials while making the house. I don’t want to buy many of the materials.

Get mud and start making bricks.
Seriously WTF is all this ECO Friendly BS. Granted if you made your house out of plastic, you wouldnt be doing any good.
Make your house out of wood, insulate it with old newspaper. The logging Industry of the United States produces more wood then ever, they are also carefully planting more trees then ever as to not run out of wood. The industry is self-sustaining, meaning they govern themselves, as well as government regulations as to not cut more then they can replenish.
Buy wood, build a house. Most nails and screws are from recycled material in the first place, same goes for glass products. Get a wood stove for heat and you just might save the planet before you die, but probably not.
