Of course, you could go around to all the different tire services in your area and collect all their unwanted tires—and start building a tire-house. It’s another way to recycle tires and build a house of such great thermal mass, that it is as energy efficient as the straw-bale house, cutting your utility bills by 50%, whilst sound-proofing your home! There are some wonderfully informative books available on the subject at http://www.northcoast.com/~tms/elkriver.... Taylor Publishing and Elk River Press. Sustainable Shelter at http://www.life.ca/subject/housing.html provides a wealth of interesting articles on recycling to build energy-efficient homes and many other articles on natural sustainable living.

More on sustainable living next week!
