Here are some of my favorite Architectural Plans and ideas for rural sustainable living, off the grid. Surely, if I had it to do all over again, Architecture would have been added to my metier. It's never too late!

<span>Hi Catherine,<br /><br />Just came across your information in one of your blogs.<br /><br />My business partner and I began working with Mayan weavers and natural dyers in Tecpan area several years ago, starting a fair-trade business, nansuhome. We have imported 10/2 organic cotton yarn from both Peru and the US. For personal reasons, we have decided to sell the business and inventory, and have about 500# of yarn now in Tecpan. We would love to find buyers in Guatemala for the yarn, rather than bringing it back to the States to sell. We have natural, vicuña, sage, cafe, and naturally-dyed indigo and grey.<br /><br />If you have any ideas of potential purchasers, please let me know.<br /><br />Many thanks,<br />Nancee Neel<br />206.616,8751<br /><a href="http://www.nansuhome.com/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.nansuhome.com</a><br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPad</span></div>

You must have read my mind! Just yesterday I was wondering how I could get organic cotton and naturally dyed fabric here in Guatemala. Do you have any fabric? Or is it just yarn? How are you pricing it?</div>

We have just started <a href="http://panajachelorganics.com/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">PanajachelOrganics.com</a> (I'm updating the blog right now) and I will post what you want there - the site doesn't have much traffic since it's new but it's a start and it's free! Add a comment there, or send to me by email. </div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I can use what you wrote to me but you may want to add a bit more info, such as price etc. There's no point in posting info and forcing everyone to ask "how much?"</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Are you selling "the business" or just the inventory? What is the price for both or either?</div>

The other places I can think of is put a notice on Cynthia Davis' "Cruz News" (I've cc:d her above) and the group she works with, CECAP in Santa Cruz, does weaving so they might be able to use these organic yarns. </div>

Also try Maya Traditions <a href="http://www.mayatraditions.org/" style="background-color: #fff8df; color: #1155cc; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12.222222328186px; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.mayatrad<wbr></wbr>itions.org</a>/ and<a href="http://mayanfamilies.org/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">MayanFamilies.org</a>, who has a sewing group and perhaps weaving too.</div>

You can do a search on my database <a href="http://lakeatitlandirectory.com/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">LakeAtitlanDirectory.com</a> under keywords "Weaving," Charities / NGO's, or Arts & Crafts, and find a number of places and people who do weaving. I'm updating the information right now so some of it may be out of date, but it's a start. And of course, Facebook (re-posting it weekly). There are a lot of for sale groups around the lake listed on Facebook(Pana, San Marcos and more) and things do get sold that way.</div>

There's is a new <a href="http://newslakeatitlan.com/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">NewsLakeAtitlan.com</a> that is just getting started you could advertise in. Plus Atitlan Sol and the Revue magazine. I think there's also a Guatemalan Craig's List. There is another group that does weaving across the lake. I can't remember their name or their pueblo, but I think it's San Juan. You probably know most of the weaving groups around Lake Atitlan, but if not, hopefully one of us can help.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
would also be good places to contact (they are all on the Lake Atitlan Directory).</div>

I wonder if you could post the business for sale in any of the google groups and "Save the Lake" google groups that exist around the lake?</div>

If you send me a pdf of a sale notice we will put it on a few bulletin boards around Panajachel that list things for sale, since we'll be going around with our own flyer (there's probably about ten places I can think of). Make yours half size so it won't cost much to print. I will do those ten for free. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We can also put your ad onto our price list and include it with deliveries of organic vegetables, since we are including a price list along with the orders and there's a bit of extra room on the page.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
For now, we can list yours for free as we will include it on the price list, as our list has room and your organic threads fit in with the organic vegetables we are selling. We don't have a lot of customers yet, but any advertising is good advertising!</div>

I wonder if you could list your business with the many realtors around Lake Atitlan? I have not had good experiences with a number of them - many are unlicensed and some are flat-out crooks and there's little to no oversight of how they do business, but they do come in contact with newcomers who are looking for a house and might also want to get involved in a business. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I'd try them if it didn't cost me anything in advance of an actual buyer! I got burned by giving an advance with a written receipt saying "refundable" once, and then they refused to return the money and they never had their actual physical address listed so I couldn't have them served by the court when I filed a complaint. When I finally found out their address, they refused to come to court and there was supposedly "nothing I could do." I'm still not sure if my lawyer I hired was working for me or for them, but that's how it turned out.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I still don't understand how they got away with it (and it was a substantial amount of money) but they did: they knew Guatemalan law better than me! I've also had realtors try to get me to sell my property here in Pana for U.S.Dollars in cash, and even I could tell the money was counterfeit! They and the "buyer" were in cahoots together, and trying to get my land and leave me with nothing. And this was the realtor that originally sold me my property! </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But a realtor could find you a buyer and as long as you got the money in hand, and had it certified as legal here, then that might also be a good way to go.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It's difficult to advertise anything without a real newspaper here, but between the places I've mentioned plus Facebook you should be able to find someone to buy your organic threads and yarns. There's a lot of NGO's working with weavers who are based in the states, and they too might have the capital to buy the thread and yarns from you. I've listed as many as I can on the<a href="http://lakeatitlandirectory.com/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">LakeAtitlanDirectory.com</a>, and let me know if you find any others and I will add them, too.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Good luck and thanks for writing... here's hoping that someone here will be able to help!</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px; white-space: normal;">Alberto, do you think this might be possible in some way to try to use with the problem of plastic in Lake Atitlan? Should it be sent out to the group? It sounds fantastic, but apparently they've already made some 3-D printed plastic chairs out of the plastic trash caught in the ocean, using solar to melt it. Amazing, really!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Alberto, thank you for sending this out! I think it's an incredible idea that could be used so many places and we could start right here at Lake Atitlan. I found a simple 3-D printer for $349.00 and a YouTube video on how it works. Incredible! What group would be interested in doing this? I hope someone can translate this into good Spanish...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Comment: [the 3-D printer] costs around $350, and you probably could even find someone with a 3D printer to make it for you. But if you have to buy your own printer, that's still a lot less expensive than new prosthetics needed throughout a lifetime. I think this and the new wheelchairs that replace traditional ones are two of the most important inventions for years to come. Absolutely life altering."</span></div>

Should it be sent out to the group? It sounds fantastic, but apparently they've already made some 3-D printed plastic chairs out of the plastic trash caught in the ocean, using solar to melt it. Amazing, really!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have always been drawn to the sea, a fascination which led us to first conceive the ‘Sea Chair’ a project which is about making furniture using plastic that is polluting our oceans. We first heard about the huge problem of marine plastic in 2010, since then we have been designing a series of devices and contraptions to collect and process the sea plastic into sea chairs with tags indicating the geographic coordinates of where it was made.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since then the project has really grown and we have now designed and built a new machine - a plastic extruder which melts the plastic at sea with only the power of the sun, forming a 3D printer that is can be used either on sea or on land, far from any external power source and where plastic trash exists without the facilities to recycle them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This October, we have an opportunity to go onboard the Sea Dragon - a 72ft vessel dedicated to research of plastic at sea. We will be sailing to the North Atlantic Gyre from the Azores Island to the Canaries. We are running this Kickstarter campaign to raise funding to join other scientist and ecologists on this journey with our new machine on board.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gyres are where ocean currents converge creating a vortex of plastic fragments. A lot of awareness has been generated around the Great Pacific Garbage Patch but there isn’t a great public awareness or research about the problem in the North Atlantic Gyre. We want to take the project to the North Atlantic Gyre to make a design collection with the waste we remove, as well as a film that can really engage the public about the issue of sea plastic.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the expedition we will be collecting plastic on the beaches for the Azores and Lanzarote as well as at sea. We will document the plastic collected and sort it to be processed with a machine we have built. The machine uses a parabolic mirror to melt the plastic with the energy from the sun. The extruded plastic can then be 3d printed into a range of objects that will all form a touring exhibition about the voyage.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I don't know if you like Medieval and Renaissance construction, but I have every book known to man about it and I am determined to build something similar as soon as I get the money. Even if I have to go back to France to do it, since I can't find anyone in Guatemala who knows how to build this way. I'd like to build with adobe in Guatemala, but stone in Europe. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have always wanted to return to my beloved France, so now might be the time to do it. If I can sell some property in Pana I'll be on the next plane "home."<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a great video that shows modern day people working in the old ways at a wonderful place called Guedelon where they are re-creating a Medieval village built only with the hand tools of the day. I am determined to go there in the next year or two, no matter what!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The movie rental is only $3.00 for one week and I am going to order the DVD too (10 pounds). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope all is well with you... Catherine<br /><div>

Deep in the forests of central France, an unusual architectural experiment is half-way to completion, as a team of masons replicates in painstaking detail the construction of an entire medieval castle.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
The Chateau de Guedelon was started in 1998, after local landowner Michel Guyot wondered whether it would be possible to build a castle from scratch, using only contemporary tools and materials.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Today, the walls are rising gradually from the red Burgundy clay. The great hall is almost finished, with only part of the roof remaining, while the main tower edges past the 15m (50ft) mark.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Builders use sandstone quarried from the very ground from which the castle is emerging.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Modern cement did not exist in the 13th Century, so mortar is made from slaked lime and sand. For tools they have basic ironware.<strong style="line-height: 16px;"></strong></div>

<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
In woods surrounding the castle, craftsmen ply all the trades required for so monumental an endeavour. Stone-cutters and carpenters fashion the raw materials. A blacksmith forges the nails. Ropes, baskets and roof-tiles are all made on site.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
"The rule is that only what we know from documents that existed at the time is allowed," says Sarah Preston, an English guide.</div>

What started out as an eccentric pipe dream is now an established enterprise, drawing in tens of thousands of visitors from around Europe every year.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
And Guedelon is also highly respected in the academic world. Experts are fascinated by what the experiment can teach about medieval building methods.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
One example concerns lime kilns, used for making the mortar. Archaeologists had often wondered why they found traces of two separate kilns at construction sites.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Experience at Guedelon showed that, in a day's work, builders often needed to top up the mortar brought in from the main kiln with small amounts made close at hand. Hence the small second kiln actually inside the castle.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
The discolouring of lime-based mortar is another revelation. Within one or two years of being laid, Guedelon's walls are already showing streaks of unsightly white where the lime is leaching.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Archaeologists think this is a clue to why medieval castles were very quickly plastered and painted: it was to hide the mess.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Mr Guyot, who owns the nearby castle of St Fargeau, teamed up with businesswoman Maryline Martin to launch the project in 1996. Part of the rationale was simply to provide employment for local people.</div>

The Guedelon site was chosen because it contained all the necessary materials: plentiful oak from the forests, as well as clay and water. Stone from the quarry had actually been used in the building of real-life medieval chateaux.</div>

The castle's design is based on a style made popular by French King Philippe-Auguste in the early 13th Century.</div>

An architectural team approves each year's building plans, after a master mason has sketched details from dozens of contemporary castles. Again, nothing that is not referenced in equivalent 13th Century buildings is permitted.</div>

"Funnily enough, we found that even though we knew we were being accurate, somehow the castle lacked soul. So we invented a character - the owner - who would have likes and dislikes, wanting this and not wanting that," says Ms Preston.</div>

Seigneur Guilbert is a middle-ranking feudal lord, who has been granted the right to build his castle because he sided with the crown during a baronial rebellion in 1226.</div>
<div style="clear: left; color: #333333; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
The rebellion - at the accession of the 12-year-old Louis IX (later Saint Louis) - did actually take place, and was suppressed by his mother Blanche de Castile.</div>

In the annals of Guedelon, construction started in 1228. Each year that passes is a year in historical time too, so we are now in 1240. Completion is due around 1253 - or 2023 in today's calendar.</div>

What happens when the castle is finally finished, no-one is really sure. One option is to start extending.</div>

"Remember, medieval castles were often works in progress. In the 15th Century they might have added new bits with different architectural styles, and then again and again," says Preston. "So we could keep going for ever."</div>

The Cathedral Builders<br />
<br />
The Cathedral Builders, a work-in-progress from ARTE, is designed for longevity and has an unusual mix of production partners. A 3D film about medieval cathedral-builders leads us to a webdoc and a casual game, that allow us to experience building virtual cathedrals, while augmented reality apps enhance the experience of visiting the sites. This German‒French co-production by Seppia and Indifilm is financed by ARTE, The Catholic Church, ZDF, The City of Strasbourg, regional funds in France and Germany, historical museums, modern art museums and the French Ministry of Culture.</div>

<span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Daniel Casado González, especialista en instalaciones de energía solar y </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">fundador del portal divulgativo sobre energías renovables <a href="http://www.sitiosolar.com/" target="_blank">Sitio Solar</a>, </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">acaba de publicar el libro práctico <a href="http://www.pamiela.com/es/novedades/hornos-solares-con-cajas-de-carton-detail" target="_blank"><i>Hornos solares con cajas de cartón</i> (Ed. Pamiela).</a>
En una época en la que el lema "Hazlo tú mismo" cobra especial fuerza,
no solo para afrontar la crisis sino también como necesidad para ganar
autosuficiencia, nos parece una propuesta más que atractiva. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Pero en <a href="http://www.elcorreodelsol.com/">El Correo del Sol</a>
nos preguntamos si con unas cuantas cajas de cartón y el sol brillando
en el cielo es suficiente para cocinar alimentos y le hemos pedido que
nos explique cómo funcionan estos hornos "caseros".</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.538em;"><span style="color: #719500;"><b>¿De verdad con un horno solar de cartón se puede calentar algo más que agua? </b></span></span>Totalmente,
con un horno solar de cartón autoconstruido se puede calentar cualquier
cosa. En realidad, si puedes calentar agua, que es uno de los elementos
que más energía requiere para subir de temperatura, puedes calentar
también alimentos y hacerlo a un nivel suficiente para que se cocinen.
Es bastante sorprendente lo que un artilugio tan sencillo puede llegar a
hacer.<br />
<div class="lupa">
Con un horno solar de cartón autoconstruido, se puede calentar cualquier cosa</div>
<b><span style="color: #719500;">¿Dime el plato más rico y elaborado que has cocinado con un horno solar de cartón?</span></b><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">He
podido cocinar muchos y de muy variados tipos. Algunos de ellos eran
también muy elaborados y requerían manipular la comida mientras se
cocinaba. Sirva de ejemplo uno de los que realicé hace un par de meses y
del que di cuenta en <a href="http://sitiosolar.com/El_cocinero_solar/2013/11/16/empezando-a-cocinar-en-noviembre/" target="_blank">mi blog</a>.
Se trataba de tortilla de patatas guisada. Para elaborarla tuve que
cocinar primero las patatas, luego cuajarlas con el huevo para conformar
la tortilla y luego sumergirlo todo en la salsa que había preparado
mientras se hacía todo lo demás. Luego, el conjunto había que dejarlo en
el horno para guisarlo un poco más. El procedimiento fue largo y
elaborado, pero aun con una intensidad solar de las más bajas del año
para mi ubicación [Aranjuez, Madrid], todo se cocinó perfectamente y
quedó muy bien. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.538em;"><span style="color: #719500;"><b>¿Cualquiera puede hacerse un horno de cartón? ¿No tiene complejidades técnicas o materiales raros y difíciles de encontrar?</b></span> </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Una
de las grandes ventajas de este método de cocina es que está al alcance
de cualquier persona. Es muy sencillo de hacer, no se necesita para
nada ser un manitas. No tiene ninguna complejidad técnica ni requiere
ninguna habilidad manual más allá de lo básico que es cortar y pegar.
Tampoco es necesario emplear materiales raros ni difíciles de encontrar,
¡todo lo contrario! Se puede hacer con materiales cotidianos y
abundantes en nuestras casas como cajas de cartón, plástico o vidrio,
papel de aluminio, paja, papel arrugado y otras cosas sencillas.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.538em;"><a href="http://www.elcorreodelsol.com/sites/default/files/documentospdfmas/cartel-de-horno-Solar2.pdf" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img data-file_info="%7B%22fid%22:%224865%22,%22view_mode%22:%22default%22,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D" src="http://www.elcorreodelsol.com/sites/default/files/dos-hornos_0.jpg" height="423" width="600" /></a></span><br />
<span style="color: #719500;"><b>¿Cuánto puede costar?</b></span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Construir
un horno solar de cartón puede ser desde muy barato hasta prácticamente
gratis dependiendo de la disposición de materiales que tengamos.
Podemos obtener muchos de los materiales que se necesitan de forma
gratuita, como las cajas de cartón en los supermercados, centros de
reciclaje o reutilizando algunas que tengamos en casa. Como aislantes,
podemos usar hojas de papel o de periódico ya usadas que hayamos
arrugado, paja, porispan o incluso ¡simplemente aire! En el caso de que
quisiéramos comprar todos los materiales nuevos, cosa que como digo no
suele ser necesario, calculo que nos costaría como mucho 30 €. Pero este
sería el precio máximo ya que, como digo, con poco esfuerzo podremos
conseguir muchos o todos de los materiales prácticamente gratis.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.538em;"><span style="color: #719500;"><b>Pues estoy deseando leer tu libro y ponerme manos a la obra, ¿qué nos explicas en él? ¿Cuántos modelos de hornos propones?</b></span></span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Escribí
el libro pensando en hacer una guía completa que permitiera a cualquier
persona construirse su horno solar de cartón con materiales baratos y
abundantes, comprender su funcionamiento y formas de uso y hacer de él
una herramienta cotidiana para cocinar alimentos a coste cero y de forma
100% ecológica. Instrumentos como el horno solar de cartón hacen del
Sol una fuente de energía de dominio totalmente público y universal,
porque deja al alcance de todo el mundo su aprovechamiento.</span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">En el libro propongo la construcción de dos modelos de hornos solares, uno sencillo como el que aparece en <a href="http://www.sitiosolar.com/Imagenes/Imagenes%20Horno%20Solar/cartel%20de%20horno%20Solar2.pdf" target="_blank">Sitio Solar</a> y
otro que desarrollé específicamente para el libro con la entrada de la
luz solar inclinada, lo que lo hace más eficiente sobre todo en
invierno. Mi premisa en este aspecto ha sido buscar la sencillez y
proponer modelos de construcción muy rápidos de hacer y que no por ello
dejen de ser seguros y eficientes</span><br />
<span style="color: #719500;"><b><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">¿Cuántos grados alcanza el horno y cuánto tiempo tardaremos, por ejemplo, en hacer un sencillo arroz con verduras? </span></b></span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Llega
a alcanzar temperaturas máximas de entorno los 150 º C. Pero la verdad
es que con alcanzar los 80ºC ya se puede cocinar cualquier cosa de forma
segura. Ni siquiera es necesario alcanzar los 100ºC. </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Es
muy difícil dar tiempos fijos de cocción con un horno solar. Muchos de
los factores que intervienen en el rendimiento del horno varían de un
día para otro. No todos los días tendremos la misma intensidad de
radiación solar, la misma temperatura externa o hará el mismo viento.
Tampoco todos los hornos están hechos de la misma forma. Todos estos
factores determinan el rendimiento del horno y del tiempo necesario para
cocinar con él. </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Algunos
cocineros señalan que con un horno solar se tarda el doble de tiempo en
cocinar que con medios convencionale. Esta afirmación solo es
orientativa y poco exacta, ya que la experiencia me ha demostrado que se
puede tardar más o menos. </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Puedo, no obstante, citar ejemplos de cocciones recientes que he hecho que pueden resultar ilustrativos. Por ejemplo, <a href="http://sitiosolar.com/El_cocinero_solar/2013/11/24/patatas-a-lo-pobre-en-21-de-noviembre-solo-un-mes-antes-del-minimo-de-intensidad-de-radiacion-solar-anual/.%20%20" target="_blank">unas patatas a lo pobre</a>
(400 gramos de patatas, 3 pimientos, aceite y condimentos + una olla
con gran masa térmica de 1 kilo y algo) que cociné el pasado 21 de
noviembre en España, con un sol ya muy débil de invierno, pude tenerlo
listo en menos de tres horas. Lo puse en el horno a cocinar a las 11.15 y
cuando lo vi a las 14.00 la patata ya estaba muy blanda. Ese caso se
podría haber retirado bastante antes. Un arroz con verduras en un día
totalmente soleado en invierno en España, calculo podría tardar entre 2 y
3 horas en hacerse. En verano, menos</span><br />
<b style="color: #719500;"><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">¿Se necesitan ollas especiales, tintadas de negro, como las que se usan en las cocinas solares parabólicas?</span></b>Para
cocinar con un horno solar se deben emplear ollas que no reflejen la
luz solar captada por el horno de vuelta al exterior. Es decir no se
pueden usar las que sean plateadas metálicas o de colores claros. Las
ollas tintadas de negro como las que mencionas son las ideales para
cocinar con un horno solar, pero también se pueden usar y dan muy buen
resultado los recipientes de vidrio que se emplean para hornos
convencionales y fogones. Estas son más fáciles de encontrar en las
casas y en los comercios y funcionan perfectamente bien.<br />
<span style="color: #719500;"><b><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">¿Qué
condiciones de sol necesitamos? Una vez que situemos la caja-horno
solar en el balcón o terraza, ¿hay que ir girándola cada cierto tiempo,
buscando los rayos directos del sol?</span></b></span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Lógicamente,
lo ideal para cocinar con hornos solares es contar con días totalmente
despejados sin una sola nube en el cielo. Sin embargo, también es
posible cocinar en días con algo de nubosidad, sobre todo si es en
verano. Yo he llegado a cocinar con el sol en días de nubes y claros que
acabaron en lluvia a primeras horas de la tarde. Todo depende de cómo
se desarrollen las nubes a lo largo del día y de la potencia de los
rayos del sol. Una nube pasajera que nos tape el sol por unos minutos no
supone un impedimento mayor para cocinar, porque el horno tiene una
inercia térmica que le permite funcionar un tiempo sin la acción directa
del sol. </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">La cocción con el
horno solar es un poco diferente con respecto a las cocinas solares de
concentración. Las cocinas solares necesitan tener una orientación
precisa hacia el sol para que los rayos solares puedan concentrarse en
su foco. De esta forma, cocinan muy rápido. Sin esta colocación no
pueden funcionar. Por el contrario, con los hornos solares, basta con
que reciban luz solar directa para que funcionen, aunque por contra
cocinan más despacio. Lógicamente, cuanta más luz entre en un horno
solar, mejor, por lo que si lo orientamos en todo momento hacia el sol,
la entrada de luz solar será óptima y todo se cocinará más rápido. </span><br />
<span style="color: #719500;"><b><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">¿La comida tiene un sabor diferente?</span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;"> </span></b></span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Los
sabores y las texturas de la comida a veces son ligeramente diferentes
cuando se cocinan con hornos solares. Hay que tener en cuenta que
hablamos de cocinar a bajas temperaturas de entre 80 y 120 grados, es
decir a "fuego" lento. Esto da a los platos características
particulares. Las carnes quedan muy tiernas, los sabores se intensifican
y los diferentes ingredientes de un plato quedan muy conjuntados. La
verdad es que la comida cocinada en el horno solar queda deliciosa y en
muchas ocasiones mejor que la que se hace con la cocina convencional.</span><br />
<span style="color: #719500;"><b><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">¿Se nos puede quemar no solo la comida, sino el horno entero al ser de cartón?</span></b></span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">La
comida no puede quemarse en el horno solar porque hablamos de
temperaturas bajas. De hecho, la comida puede quedarse en el interior de
un horno solar expuesto al sol todo el tiempo que se quiera, incluso
una vez que este hecha y nunca se quemará ni se estropeará. La comida
tampoco puede pegarse al recipiente porque no se carboniza. Algunos
alimentos como el arroz y la pasta pueden pasarse, es decir quedarse
demasiado blandos y poco apetecibles, pero nunca se quemarán ni se
estropearan. </span><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Tampoco un horno
solar de cartón como los que propongo en el libro puede jamás provocar
fuego o quemarse. Como hemos visto, estos hornos solares pueden
alcanzar como máximo temperaturas de hasta 150 ºC. Para que el cartón se
queme, necesita alcanzar los 233ºC de temperatura, muy lejos de lo que
puede alcanzar como máximo un horno solar como los propuestos en el
libro. Ni siquiera aunque quisiéramos provocar fuego de manera
intencional con los modelos del libro podríamos llegar a hacerlo. El
horno no tiene la potencia suficiente. Es como si intentásemos romper la
barrera del sonido con un seat Ibiza, simplemente nuestro vehículo
jamás podrá llegar a hacerlo. </span><br />

<h2>
Architecture </h2>
Thorncrown Chapel was designed by world renowned architect E.
Fay Jones. Fay was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in 1921. He studied at
the University of Arkansas, Rice University, the University of Oklahoma,
and finally under his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright at the Taliesin
Fellowship.<br />
Jones’ awards include the 1981 American Institute of
Architects National Honor Award for Thorncrown Chapel and the AIA Gold
Medal (1990). Thorncrown was listed fourth on the AIA’s top ten
buildings of the 20th century. When alive, Mr. Jones was recognized as
one of the top ten living architects of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>
</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>The inspiration for Thorncrown Chapel was Sainte Chappelle,
Paris’ light filled gothic chapel. Fay affectionately labeled
Thorncrown’s style as “Ozark Gothic.” </i></span><br />
<br />
The chapel rises 48 feet into the
sky with over 6,000 square feet of glass and 425 windows. Its dimensions
are 24 feet by 60 feet. The chapel is made with all organic materials
to fit its natural setting. The only steel in the structure forms a
diamond shaped pattern in its wooden trusses. The building has a native
flagstone floor surrounded with a rock wall which gives the feeling that
the chapel is part of its Ozark hillside.<br />
<br />
In order to preserve Thorncrown’s natural setting, Fay
decided that no structural element could be larger than what two men
could carry through the woods. The building materials are primarily
pressure treated pine 2x4s, 2x6s, and 2x12s. The larger elements of the
building such as the trusses were assembled on the floor and raised into
place.<br />
<br />
Light, shadows, and reflections play a major role in
Thorncrown’s ambience. Because of the chapel’s elaborate trusses and the
surrounding trees, constantly changing patterns of light and shadows
appear during the day. At night reflections of the crosses in the lights
appear to surround the entire building. Consequently, Thorncrown never
looks quite the same. Its appearance changes during each hour of the day
and during the different seasons of the year.<br />

<br />
<div class="Ct">
This
is such a fascinating structure... so similar to a covered bridge yet
with views open to elements and surrounded by the natural beauty all
around.<br />
That has to be part of the magical mystery of this place.
The geometry of this structure reminds me of something so close to home,
like a bee-hive buzzing, but silent and contained. What is it about this
particular geometric shape and form? It seems like "the essence of life." What makes it "sacred" in all aspects of it's creation
and construction? For it surely is...</div>

Fay
Jones says he was a "cathedral builder born 500 years too late." I
agree! His incredible inspiration comes from Sainte Chapelle, one of the
most beautiful small cathedrals in Paris that is overwhelming in it's
simplicity and beauty, as is Jone's architectural work. "Transcendental
Feeling and Mystery" accurately describes his work.</div>

<br />
excerpt: "Bose brought the Tulsa, Okla., office of dealer and integrator FBP
Systems onto the project. “This a challenging project in many ways, and
not just acoustically,” says Mark Labouff, national sales manager for
FBP Systems. “This is also an architecturally and historically
significant building, so a lot of care had to be taken in installing a
sound system. The space’s architect had designed millwork to hide
speakers when the building was first built.<br />
<br />
In order to maintain the
historical integrity of the building, we needed a speaker system that
would fit inside the original millwork, and the MA12EX modules were the
right size; they are actually hidden behind grille cloth that spans the
front of the millwork. In addition, because of where the millwork is
located, the speakers had to be placed behind the pulpit microphones.
That creates an enormous potential for feedback. But with the MA12EX
loudspeakers, it was no problem. And the slim column enclosure blends
with almost any décor, and that addressed the aesthetics. The MA12EX
loudspeakers are resistant to feedback, and have such tight pattern
control that I can’t imagine any other product could work in that
space.”<br />
<br />
Reed realized he had finally
found the solution that had eluded the chapel for so long. “When I first
heard the system, I could hardly believe my ears. I could understand
every word, even at the back of an empty chapel. We were thrilled, but
the best testimony comes from the tens of thousands of people who have
listened to the talks and sermons we give at Thorncrown—not one
complaint about not being able to hear. That says it all.”<br />

concerts would be perfect. I'm thinking perhaps this is the best kind
of structure I could build on my small building lots. It might not cost
much (if the self-cleaning greenhouse glass isn't cost-prohibitive) and
it would fit well with the small lot I have with the mountain behind it.
I've been looking and looking for something that will fit well into the
property and the surroundings. A place for concerts in such a beautiful
building would be perfect for Panajachel; for anywhere, really! I'd
even like to bring classical music and opera!</span></span></span></div>

<div id="cityDescription">
Established in 1965, <a href="http://www.bentonvillebellavistachamber.com/index.asp?id=1" target="_blank">Bella Vista</a>
is a recreational community of about 24,000 people that offers a
picturesque, activity-based lifestyle. Bella Vista has over $35 million
in recreational amenities - including golf courses, 12 lighted tennis
courts, eight lakes, swimming pools, paved nature trails, playgrounds
and more. Golf is a big draw with eight, championship-quality courses
available for play. Country clubs and theater are also popular.<br />
<br />
Use of most amenities is managed by the <a href="http://www.bellavistapoa.com/" target="_blank">Bella Vista Property Owners Association</a>,
a private organization that acts as the village's local government. The
association charges property owners a monthly assessment for use of the
facilities.<br />
<br />
While it has primarily been an affluent retirement area, recent
growth has diversified it with young couples and families. It was the
first of a successful group of communities to be developed by John
Cooper, founder of Cooper Communities.<br />
<br />
Built in honor of Cooper's wife, the <a href="http://www.beautifulbellavista.com/chapel.htm" target="_blank">Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel</a>
in Bella Vista was created by renowned <b>Arkansas architect E. Fay Jones.</b>
In 1991, Jones was awarded the American Institute of Architecture's
highest award, the AIA Gold Metal. Designed to fit the environment, the
Chapel contains large glass windows, bringing light, shadows and each
season into the space. <br />
<br />
It is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
seven days a week or by reservation for special ceremonies - weddings,
renewal of vows, concerts, cultural events, baptisms and memorial
services. Jones created another well-known architectural chapel, <a href="http://www.thorncrown.com/" target="_blank">Thorncrown Chapel</a>, in the Victorian spa town of <a href="http://www.arkansas.com/places-to-go/cities-and-towns/city-detail.aspx?city=Eureka+Springs">Eureka Springs</a>.<br />
<br />
Tucked into the rolling hills of the Ozarks, the northwest Arkansas
area consists of extensive hardwood forests, primarily oak and hickory
that shelter large populations of wild deer, turkey, squirrels, birds,
and other native animal species.<br />
<br />
In Benton County, Bella Vista is located on Ark. 71 between <a href="http://www.arkansas.com/places-to-go/cities-and-towns/city-detail.aspx?city=Bentonville">Bentonville</a> and the Missouri state line.</div>

Our group visited one of these Monday which was the Mildred B. Cooper’s Chapel in Bella Vista and que bella vista it truly is!<br />

The distinction I am making is that all building isn’t architecture, just as all writing isn’t literature or poetry, even though the spelling, grammar and syntax might be correct.

<br />
I'd say that Mr. Jones did indeed accomplish what he set out to do as he did 'touch' me with the beauty of his design of the Chapel nestled in the woods. In fact the structure looks like it has always been here.<br />
<br />
Fay's design rules included leaving the environment undisturbed as much as possible, a principle of ‘organic architecture.’ No structural element could be larger than what two men could carry through the woods. Building materials included pressure treated pine 2x4s, 2x6s, and 2x12 s mostly. The trusses were assembled on the floor and raised into place.<br />

<br />
These trusses and the surrounding trees make the light and shadows play inside and outside the chapel. The resulting patterns change not only with the time of day but also by the season. Therefore, the structure never looks quite the same.<br />

<h1 class="entry-title">
Simple Aquaponics System for Growing Your Own Food & Fish At Home</h1>
This aquaponics system is different than most. It’s a scaled down
version of the system Will Allen over at Growing Power Inc uses to grow 1
Million pounds of food on his 3 acre farm in Milwaukee, WI. The whole
system uses just a single pump and uses very little energy to pump
nutrient rich water up to the gravel bed on top for filtration. The
upper bed is slightly angled so the water can slowly drain down to the
second bed below. And then finally back into the main tank where the
fish are kept.<br />
This system is scalable and will produce a large amount of food in a
very small space when compared with traditional row cropping. The
tank(s) at Growing Power are some 60 feet long. You can imagine the
number of fish you could raise in a 100 foot tank.<br />
<br />
This system has almost unlimited potential yield, and scalability.
Building one for yourself is relatively simple, and will allow you to
grow your own food at home for a fraction of the cost of buying it from
your grocery store.<br />
<br />
Also, this system can be housed in a greenhouse for year-round
growing. Growing Power uses the heat from compost piles to heat their
greenhouses and they grow all year in Milwaukee, WI. If they can do it
there, you can grow it at home just about anywhere in the world.
<br />
So, what are you waiting for? When are you building one?<br />

What did a medieval stonemason do when heavy rainfall interrupted his
work? Umbrellas are impractical at construction sites. Gore-Tex jackets
weren't yet invented, nor were plastic rain jackets. "He donned a
jacket made of felted loden cloth," says Bert Geurten, the man who plans
to build an authentic monastery town the old-fashioned way.<br />
<div class="spMInline">
<div class="spCommercial spM300" id="qcMiddle2Container">

</div>
</div>
</div>
Felted loden jackets will also be present on rainy days at Geurten's
building site, which is located near Messkirch, in the southwestern
German state of Baden-Württemberg, between the Danube River and Lake
Constance. Beginning in 2013, a Carolingian monastery town will be built
here using only the materials and techniques of the 9th century. From
the mortar to the walls, the rain jackets to the menu, every aspect of
the operation will be carried out as just as it was in the days of
Charlemagne. "We want to work as authentically as possible," says
Geurten. </div>
<div class="article-section clearfix">
</div>
<div class="article-section clearfix">
The building contractor from the Rhineland region has long dreamt of
carrying out his plan. When he was a teenager, the now 62-year-old was
inspired by a model of the St. Gallen monastery plan in an exhibition in
his home city of Aachen. The plan, dating from the beginning of the 9th
century, shows the ideal monastery, as envisioned by Abbot Haito of
Reichenau.<br />
<br />
Haito dedicated his drawing to his colleague Abbot Gozbert of St.
Gall, who presided over the monastery from 816 to 837. He meticulously
recorded everything that he believed was necessary for a monastic city,
from a chicken coop to a church for 2,000 worshipers. Altogether he
envisaged 52 buildings -- but they were never built. That will change in
spring 2013, though, when ox-pulled carts wil begin carrying the first
stones to the building site in the forest near Messkirch. It won't be
finished until about 2050, according to estimates.<br />
<br />
<b>A Glimpse of the Middle Ages</b><br />
<b> </b> <br />
The lengthy time frame betrays the ambitious dimensions of <a class="spTextlinkExt text-link-ext" href="http://www.karolingischeklosterstadt.com/" target="_blank" title="Project Website: Karolingische Klosterstadt">the project</a>,
which is not just a tourist attraction, but also a meticulous
scientific undertaking. Twelve experts, including historians, architects
and archaeologists, form the scientific council that oversees the
monastic town. Their job is to advise the artisans while simultaneously
learning from their experiences.<br />
<br />
Such experiments offer a rare glimpse into the everyday life of past
centuries. Often there is only one way to find out how people once built
their homes, prepared their food or sewed their clothes -- by
recreating the historic experience. Experimental archeology researchers
have discovered that antique linen armor offers as much protection as
kevlar vests, how beer was brewed in the Bronze Age and how Stone Age
people sharpened blades.<br />
<br />
The 9th century -- the era which will be recreated by the Carolingian
monastery town project -- is a particularly interesting focus for such
experiments. There are few surviving documents from the period some
1,100 to 1,200 years ago. "Our goal is not to end up having a monastery
town, but to build it," says Geurten.<br />
<br />
The first building will be a small wooden church. "Of course, in the
Middle Ages, they didn't build the large stone church first," says
Geurten. The craftsmen at that time did not want to postpone their
prayers until the stone church was finished, so they constructed a
simple wooden church as an interim arrangement until they could move
into the magnificent stone building decades later.<br />
<br />
<b>Harsh Conditions </b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
Carts carrying building materials will be pulled by Hinterwald cows.
With a height of around 115 to 125 centimeters (3' 9" to 4' 1")and
weighing between 172 and 218 kilograms (380 and 480 pounds), these
working animals come the closest to those used during the time of
Charlemagne. "They are descended from the Celts' cattle," says Geurten.<br />
<br />
Not just workers will have to adjust to medieval conditions, though.
The plan also includes a special experience for visitors, who will walk a
lengthy distance from the parking lot before reaching the construction
site. "They should feel like they journey in time and leave the present
behind them," says Geurten. If they get hungry, the monastery town will
have a 9th-century menu. "The potato was unknown," says Geurten. "And
there will be no coffee around to drink." Everything that the tradesmen
and visitors will eat will be grown in the soil near the construction
site.<br />
<br />
The example of the French castle Guédelon proves that visitors will
not be deterred by such a strict approach. In Burgundy, builders are
constructing the 13th-century castle with medieval techniques. Every
year the site attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors. "A Guédelon
visitors' survey has shown that people want to return on average every
three years," explains Geurten. "They want to see the castle grow and
follow its progress."<br />
<br />
He hopes for similar success at his monastic town. The project has
initial funding of around €1 million ($1.3 million) from city, state and
European Union sources, but that will only sustain it for the first few
years. After that, the project will have to fund itself.<br />
<br />
<b>A Flood of Volunteers</b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
Given the tight budget, craftsmen salaries will remain low. "The net
wage is about €1,200 (per month)," says Geurten. "I can't pay more." The
working hours are also a long way from what German trade unions
recommend these days. They will work from April 2 -- Charlemagne's
birthday -- almost without break until St. Martin's Day, on Nov. 11.
During those eight months, there will be one single weekend off. "In the
Middle Ages, the rent for the year was always paid on St. Martin's
Day," said Geurten. The winter break lasts until April when the
temperatures are warm enough to work again.<br />
<div class="spMInline">
</div>
Despite the difficult conditions, the project has been swamped with
applications. "I've had 85 stone masons apply already," says Geurten.
"They all dream of having the chance to work with their hands." This
also applies to the blacksmith. "They won't be hammering kitschy
horseshoes for tourists. The forge must supply the site with tools," he
adds. </div>
<div class="article-section clearfix">
<br />
Overall, the construction site will have 20 to 30 permanent staff in
addition to volunteers. There has already been a lot of interest. "From
Lufthansa pilots to a teacher, all kinds of people have applied." One
candidate even sent his application written in medieval German on a real
roll of parchment. Meanwhile, schools will likely be allowed to join in
with the site's work for as long as a week. "We are developing a plan
that will enable the children to prepare for their experience in the
classroom first," says Geurten.<br />
<br />
It will take about 40 years until the final stone is laid in the
monastery church. By then it is highly unlikely that Geurten will still
be alive. But he doesn't mind. "I just want a founding father's tomb in
the crypt. Then they could come and light candles for me," he says.<br />

<i>"Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against

Excerpt:<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Patterns">Patterns</span></h3>
Permaculture is a design <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy" title="Philosophy">philosophy</a> which seeks to exploit and imitate naturally occurring patterns. Patterns occur in nature in many forms: From studying <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal#Natural_phenomena_with_fractal_features" title="Fractal">Fractals</a>, patterns emerge as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number" title="Fibonacci number">mathematical principles</a> from apparently random things such as the shape of plants.<br />
Permaculture designers are encouraged to develop a sensitivity to the
patterns that exist in nature, to determine their complex functions and
the various interrelations. Since humans have complex intentions and a
wide variety of goals, permaculture design draws upon a variety
patterns, building a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_language" title="Pattern language">pattern language</a> as defined by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Alexander" title="Christopher Alexander">Christopher Alexander</a>. These natural patterns can often be utilized—either exploited or imitated or both exploited and imitated—to satisfy specific <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design" title="Design">design</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal" title="Goal">goals</a>.
For example, "the application of pattern on a design site involves the
designer recognizing the shape and potential to fit these patterns or
combinations of patterns comfortably onto the landscape".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture#cite_note-17"><span>[</span>17<span>]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#What_information_to_include" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="A more detailed citation is required.

Patterns such as spiral, branching, wave, net and honeycomb are
structural patterns that are repeated throughout nature. "A lot of the
structural patterns combine strength and beauty with efficiency of space
through large surface area or extensive edges. Looking at the benefits
of these characteristics provides us with attitudes that we can emulate
in our design work."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-People_and_Permaculture_18-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture#cite_note-People_and_Permaculture-18"><span>[</span>18<span>]</span></a></sup><br />

You can buy a better tent from any camping outfit and get a better deal and something that actually might make people feel at home instead of in a prison or living in a storage shed. Would I live in this? No, and I wouldn't expect anyone else to either. <br />
<br />
And they have the nerve to call it a "solar powered house" when it actually lights one small light bulb. Talk about false advertising! Look at that one tiny window... the whole thing makes me sick. I wouldn't want to live there... why should we subject "poor people" to such indignity? And then act like you are helping to "shelter" human beings who have lost everything? IKEA should be ashamed of itself.<br />
<br />
I'm not taking this down because I'm sure people are initially interested in the design as I was, and I will be posting other comments I have received from real architects who care about real disaster housing. In the meantime, please send me anything you find out about this IKEA style design. I think it stinks.<br />
<br />
Everyone is getting into the act now that we have so many "natural" (man-made) disasters.<br />
Greed has once again entered the ring.<br />

sensibilities out of the urban apartment and onto the global village. <br />

<b>Pepsi partnered </b>with
the My Shelter foundation to build this school house made of 9,000
plastic bottles in San Pablo, Philippines. Thousands of volunteers
recruited by Pepsi -- collected the used bottles, helped to raise
awareness of the Philippines classroom shortage and participated in
building the structure. <a href="http://sarapmagbago.com/" target="_blank">Pepsi's clean-up campaign website, sarapmagbago.com</a> and lots more photos here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pepsisarapmagbago?ref=ts" target="_blank">facebook.com/pepsisarapmagbago</a><br />

After
the 9,000 bottles were collected each 1.5 and 2-litre bottle was filled
with adobe (sand, clay, and water with a bit of straw, twigs or manure
thrown in). This machine made the filling much easier.

<br />
<b>In Guatemala</b>, volunteers with the help of the community, build plastic bottle school houses using a construction method pioneered by <a href="http://www.puravidafoundation.ca/" target="_blank">non-profit Pura Vida</a>.
The first plastic bottle school in Guatemala was started by volunteers
in the Peace Corps and when they ran out of resources they called on Hug
It Forward, an NGO that has now helped build numerous plastic bottle
schools accross Guatemala. <a href="http://www.hugitforward.com/" target="_blank">www.hugitforward.com</a><br />

<br />
First,
the students and volunteers stuff the plastic bottles with insulating
trash. Each student is asked to collect and fill at least 20 bottles.
They stuff each bottle with plastic waste, such as styrofoam, snack
wrappers and plastic bags - the more compacted, the sturdier the
building blocks and the less garbage remaining on the streets. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugitforward" target="_blank">www.flickr.com</a><br />

1. Make sure your community is involved and that you have a safe/approved location to build.<br />
2. Make sure you have a budget and enough funding.<br />
3.
Collect and stuff bottles and gather lots of inorganic trash. Each
bottle and all of the stuffing material has to be clean (rinsed in
water) and dried. If anything is wet or dirty it will become moldy and
start to smell. Organic trash, such as paper, cardboard, dirt, and
rocks, cannot be used.<br />
4. Set up a frame, foundation, and roof comprised of either wood, metal or cement columns.<br />
5.
Start putting chicken wire on the outside of the frame, then work on
the inside in sections, putting in the bottles while you slowly connect
the inside layer of chicken wire to the outside, securing the bottles
tightly.<br />
6. Continue section by section, until bottles are placed, then stuff all empty leftover spaces with inorganic trash.<br />
7. Test the cement mixture (no limestone) to make sure it sticks. Then start placing the first layer of cement.<br />
8. When this dries, start a second layer.<br />
9. Finish with a third layer then lay the flooring.<br />
10. Inaugurate and celebrate!<br />

The rocket mass heater
works on similar properties as a masonry heater. A fast, high heat and
oxygen-fed fire burn up the volatile gases and particulates, leaving
very little pollution, and turn almost every ounce of wood fuel into
energy.</div>

The Glass Bottle Kiln is built with recycled wine bottles which are held together by sandy soil.<br />
The
firing, which is carried out with wood, must ascend gradually, taking
from 8 to 10 hours, to arrive at a temperature of 800-900°C, the point
at which the glass begins its fusion. Inside the kiln, the flames can be
seen to rise slowly towards the chimney until exiting and dissolving in
twirls of a thousand sparks. <br />
The Glass Bottle Kiln had become a glass grotto with thousands of translucent stalactites<br />
Thanks to all friends and helpers, how were involved in building and firing.<br />
