As you can see by the belkow link, CEB or sustainable does not mean a "MUD" hut as some would think in terms of the word "Compressed Earth Block" I would not mind living in one of these structures, would you?

How about looking at some video clips about these types of structures? Do you have the time? Well it is well worth your investment of a few minutes to look at these at least.
I hope you have an open mind to see what is being done with hydro-electric units, composting, geothermal and water deslination.
On this site is a myriad of video clips which you can use for your projects.

Great links and ideas for CEB#2
Please review this very first one so you might see some great definitions about GREEN building rather than Sustainable Building, there is a difference in saying these words and it bears worth reading. Thanks dd

Children growing food
As you can see there are even children growing foods. Some of the clips show commercial applications and time lapsed photos. Very interesting.
