‘Earth building’, ‘cob’, ‘waddle-and-dob’, and ‘adobe’, are all words for the same thing: ancient building traditions using local earth and locally available materials. Learning from our ancestor’s tried and tested traditions we can build everything from benches, to gardens, to structures. By incorporating bottles and modern innovations we can build practical and beautiful creations. By incorporating
ecobricks we can build net- green, net-contributive constructions that sequester carbon/plastic.

In this 90 minute presentation we'll go through the theory and science behind earth building and how it combines with ecobricks. Each participant is asked to bring some of their local earth to the session. After a 60 minute presentation, we'll take a look at everyone's earth and evaluate it for building feasability. We'll take 30 minutes of questions and discussion.
