What are "Earth Homes?" Earth homes are houses that are basically constructed from earth. Some earth homes are built from adobe, mud, straw or even underground as an earth-sheltered home. Environmentally friendly, earth homes are easy to warm and cool and extremely energy efficient.

Adobe Earth homes are houses constructed from bricks comprised of tightly compacted earth, clay and straw. Adobe earth homes can be naturally waterproofed by using fermented cactus juice!

Earth sheltered earth homes are houses are constructed underground - or at least mostly beneath ground surface. Surrounding soil is a superp and nautral insulation which makes these homes cheap to heat and cool. Usually installed in a well-drained hillside, earth sheltered homes have a skylight window that can fill home with natural sunlight. Although costs may run a bit higher than conventional home construction, earth sheltered homes are a good, long-term investment as lowered maintenance and energy savings make up difference.

Straw Bale earth homes are making a comeback as well. Straw bale earth homes are obviously constructed of straw and grass, are energy efficient, and can cut material building costs by as much as fifty percent.

Your probably wondering what im going on about aren’t you? I’ve got a question I want to ask you. What would you do to protect something that looks after you? If you were lying in a hospital bed, and a machine was keeping you alive, you’d want to look after it, wouldn’t you? Cause it keeps you alive. What would you say about this planet? It is keeping you alive, so why aren’t you trying to protect it?

There are simple ways to do it. Fair enough, using public transport, or recycling paper. But is your business doing it enough. Does every bit of paper that is used and thrown away recycled?

There are lots of Charities, trying to make a difference to our world. They want to see oceans cleaner, plants greener, and animals happier. Scientists come up with mathematical equations stating, we need to stop pollution otherwise our atmosphere will be destroyed.

Think about it, take a large water bomb, filled with water, stick needles into it, draw out water, its mass will diminish. Then when it’s all gone it will be useless. This will be same as earth. What’s worse, having more pollution blasted out from machines, our atmosphere will become weaker. Our o-zone layer shields us from hot radiation that waits to vaporise earth. Once o-zone layer is broken, it’s almost impossible to re-pair, once those rays penetrate our world, things will get worse. Water will vaporise, leaving us with no water, plants will die and animals, then us!

What is going through your mind right now? Do you feel enough urgency to start having a new look on life or are you just going to sit back and forget. It took one women/man to sail around world, so millions of people taking notice of there environment can stop horrible changes from happening.

Start using energy saving light bulbs. Switch energy suppliers. There are companies that use natural power, such as wind to power houses across UK, such as Ecotricity. Be sensible on how you use your car, conserve water.

Everyone has read articles on protecting environment, one thing which we have to think about is our natural resources. One day we’ll zap all our oil from planet and oil is formulated into petrol. One day you may have an accident in your home, you call ambulance, you’re injured that you need someone to come get you. Wait, what would happen then?, because ambulance would need petrol, therefore can’t come get you, you may die! You might say we could use solar power, then what happened if you had it in night, you might say use a battery that gets charged and saves power. But as your thinking of this, aren’t you wondering why you’re thinking this way? Well it’s because you know that it would come to point where we would have to use solar power to power our vehicles.
