Did you think that your feet had been bound By what gravity brings to the ground? Did you feel you were tricked By the future you picked? Well, come on down
All those rules don’t apply When you’re high in the sky So, come on down Come on down
We’re coming down to the ground There’s no better place to go We’ve got snow up on the mountains We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground We hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We send the seeds out in the breeze
Did you think you’d escaped from routine By changing the script and the scene? Despite all you made of it You’re always afraid Of the change
You’ve got a lot on your chest Well, you can come as my guest So come on down Come on down
We’re coming down to the ground There’s no better place to go We’ve got snow up on the mountains We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground We hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We send the seeds out in the breeze
Like the fish in the ocean We felt at home in the sea We learned to live off the good land Learned to climb up a tree Then we got up on two legs But we wanted to fly When we messed up our homeland We set sail for the sky
We’re coming down to the ground There’s no better place to go We’ve got snow up on the mountains We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground We hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We send the seeds out in the breeze
We’re coming down Coming down to Earth Like babies at birth Coming down to Earth We’re gonna find new priorities These are extraordinary qualities

Last year, plastic bottles generated more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide. Drink tap.
Bottled water costs 7,000 times more than the same water that comes from a faucet. Drink tap.

อันนี้เป็นของที่ New York ค่า เค้าชักชวนให้ทุกคนมาดื่มน้ำก็อก(เพราะเค้ากินได้นิ)แทนน้ำขวด เพราะว่าน้ำขวดมันมีผลต่อสิ่งแวดล้อมที่มากมายกว่ามาก สำหรับเราๆชาวไทยคงไปกินน้ำก็อกกันคงไม่ดีแน่ แต่ก็เป็นวิธีชักชวนให้พวกเราใช้น้ำขวดพลาสติกกันให้น้อยลง หรือหันกันมาพกขวดน้ำ/กระติกส่วนตัวกันให้มากขึ้นเน่อ (เราก็กำลังจะหามาครอบครองเหมือนกันนิ)
we often 'oooh' and 'aaah' over the most elaborate structures which were designed by the most famous of architects and were expensive to build, but sometimes the simplest pieces of architecture have the most long lasting impression.

founded in 1994, the red feather development group is a volunteer-based organization that has been working to help plague the housing problems that the american indians have been facing. with the help of a strong community of members, the group has been able to provide the community with a house solution through the construction of straw bale homes. the choice of the straw bales may seem simple, but this inexpensive material provides good insulation, is incredibly lightweight and easy to handle, requires minimum tools for building and above all, is ecologically sustainable. since the first houses were erected, the popularity of straw bale architecture has increased, with the red feather development group's methodology and construction techniques resulting in an architectural phenomenon.
'building a straw bale house' is truly a handbook, providing the reader with detailed step-by-step instructions, material and tool lists, and everything else you need to know to get started. it opens with the site work and foundations of building a straw bale structure and follows through to the finishing touches, like interior wall texture and color choices. but, beyond all of the 'how to' technical work and safety guides that are outlined, the book itself is an inspirational story which has had a huge impact ecologically, socially and culturally, empowering the reservation communities.
the images of prototypes, accompanied by over 35 case studies covering a range of red feather development group projects could very well change the way you see the future of architecture.
is it for me? sure, this handbook may sound technical, but with the easy to follow instructions, along with images to help guide you, by the end, you too will have the knowledge on how to build your very own straw bale house.
