I was introduced today to Mark Wolk, a partner in Barefoot Construction in Ottawa. This company specializes in using sustainable techniques and products in their construction methods. He explained straw bale houses, comparing them to the mainstream way of building – very interesting. I consider myself a fairly green person, but this brings it to a higher level – thinking about what we are living in, what our houses are made of and how the construction materials used affect our planet. Besides the green side of these building products, the esthetics are beautiful.
Have a look at their website and you will get a taste of what Barefoot Construction is doing to make the world a better place.
Thanks
Catherine
