Eco in Denmark: The cheapest and most practical house

At the support concert for Pakistan, tiny ecovillage Friland collected 10,000DKK whereas an earth quake resistant straw bale house to be built in Pakistan will cost about 700DKK to implement, by strong hands and local material in Pakistan. This only event will shed 14 families, usually consisting of more than 4 people. So this proves.. little help matters.

I'm making a smaller installation for SupportPakistan

At the moment I got a happy task from Caroline at Engineers Without Borders, which makes me feel I can contribute on a minor scale for a major project. It is to make a small installation in the same dimensions as the bigger houses, to be shown in TV and on stands. And if I had the money, I'd travel down to Pakistan immediately and help them out! They are planning to set up some hundred thousands of this straw bale house below, to shelter people in the cold mountains during the winter. This installation by the way, is making its way to danish tv-stations very soon to be presented, and it is to show the people donating money where their money goes. I think many people like this project, because it is so specific and practical. I am happy that they are getting more publicity to collect more money for this important project of theirs.
