CalEarth

Cal-Earth, the California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture, is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to providing solutions to the human need for shelter through research, development, and education in earth architecture. We envision a world in which every person is empowered to build a safe and sustainable home with their own hands, using the earth under their feet.

Nader Khalili (1936-2008) is the world-renowned Iranian-American architect, author, humanitarian, teacher, and innovator of the Geltaftan Earth-and-Fire system known as Ceramic Houses, and of the Superadobe construction system.

There is a Sustainable Solution to Human Shelter, based on Timeless Materials (earth, water, air and fire) and Timeless Principles (arches, vaults and domes). Every man and woman should be able to build a shelter for his or her family with these universal elements, almost anywhere on the earth and other planets. These principles, interpreted into the simplest form of building technology have created emergency shelter which can become permanent houses, and which have passed strict tests and building codes. Since 1975 we have been dedicated to researching and developing this low-cost, self-help, eco-friendly technology which can resist disasters, and to offer it to humanity. The only missing link is to educate humans how to use these timeless techniques, developed at Cal-Earth Institute, to fit their own culture and environment.

https://www.calearth.org/intro-superadobe

Superadobe is a form of earthbag construction that was developed by Iranian architect Nader Khalili.[1] The technique uses layered long fabric tubes or bags filled with adobe to form a compression structure.[2] The resulting beehive-shaped structures employ corbelled arches, corbelled domes, and vaults to create sturdy single and double-curved shells. It has received growing interest for the past two decades in the natural building and sustainability movements.

SuperAdobe is a form of earth bag architecture developed by architect and CalEarth founder Nader Khalili. Using long sandbags ("SuperAdobe Bags"), barbed wire, on-site earth and a few tools, Khalili devised a revolutionary building system that integrates traditional earth architecture with contemporary global safety requirements, and passes severe earthquake code tests in California.

This technology has been published by NASA, endorsed by the United Nations, featured in countless world media outlets, and awarded the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2004. It comes from years of meditation, hands-on research and development. Inspired by traditional earth architecture in the deserts of Iran and adapted for modern usage. Simplified so that anyone can build.

Eco-Friendly Jute Bags: A Sustainable Choice from Earthbags

Jute, often referred to as the “golden fiber,” is a versatile and eco-friendly material that has gained prominence in the world of sustainable fashion. Earthbags Export Private Limited, based in Kolkata, India, has been at the forefront of creating eco-friendly jute bags that combine style, functionality, and environmental consciousness.

Natural Jute Fiber: Earthbags design sturdy and functional eco shopping bags using the highest quality natural jute fiber produced in India. Jute, a plant-based material, grows abundantly and requires minimal water and pesticides.

Biodegradability: Unlike synthetic materials, jute bags decompose naturally, leaving no harmful residues behind. When discarded, they return to the earth, contributing to a circular economy.

Craftsmanship: Each Earthbag is a testament to skilled craftsmanship. Artisans weave, stitch, and embellish these bags with care, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.

Versatility: Earthbags offer a variety of jute bag styles—totes, shoulder bags, crossbody bags, and more. Whether you’re heading to the market or a casual outing, there’s an Earthbag for every occasion.

Why Choose Eco-Friendly Jute Bags?

Reducing Plastic: By opting for jute bags, you actively reduce your reliance on single-use plastic bags. Carry your groceries, books, or daily essentials in a reusable jute bag and contribute to a cleaner planet.

Supporting Fair Trade: Earth friendly bags commitment to fair trade ensures that artisans receive fair wages and work in safe conditions. When you choose their bags, you support livelihoods and empower communities.

Fashion with a Purpose: Jute bags are not just functional; they’re fashionable too. Earthbags infuse creativity into their designs, making each bag a style statement.

Caring for Your Jute Bag

Spot Clean: If your jute bag gets dirty, gently spot clean it with a damp cloth.

Air Dry: Allow your bag to air dry completely to maintain its shape and prevent mold.

Avoid Excessive Moisture: Jute is susceptible to moisture, so keep it away from prolonged rain or damp environments.

Remember, when you carry an Earthbag, you’re not just accessorizing; you’re making a conscious choice—one that aligns with sustainability and supports ethical practices. Let your jute bag be a symbol of your commitment to a greener future.

Alternative Building Techniques From Earthbag to Shipping Container Homes

The modern world calls for modern solutions, including innovative building techniques that are both sustainable and cost-efficient. Traditional building methods are no longer the only option, and new methods are quickly gaining popularity. Today, we'll discuss the two most prominent alternative building techniques: Earthbag and Shipping Container homes.

The Earthbag Building Technique

The Earthbag building technique has been around for quite some time, yet it has just recently gained popularity in the United States. The principle behind Earthbag homes is pretty straightforward. Sandbags are filled with natural materials - often soil or clay - and stacked to form walls. This method has caught on for several reasons:

It's eco-friendly, utilizing natural and locally-sourced materials. It's lightweight, making it easy to transport and assemble on-site. It's affordable, allowing individuals the opportunity to build their homes at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.

The earthbag building technique is perfect for those who are looking for alternatives to the traditional home-building process. This technique promotes self-sustainability, cost-efficiency, and durability that will last for years.

The Shipping Container Home Technique

Another popular alternative building technique is Shipping Container Homes. As the name implies, this technique utilizes old shipping containers as the primary building material. Shipping containers are a great option for building sustainable homes. Here's why:

Shipping containers are virtually indestructible, making them an ideal material for home construction. They are readily available and easily transportable around the world. They are extremely versatile and customizable which makes for unique home designs.

Shipping containers have become increasingly popular in recent years as people look for cost-effective and eco-friendly ways of living. With Shipping Container Homes, you get durable structures built quickly and affordably.

Key Takeaways

Though the earthbag and shipping container home techniques might seem intimidating at first, they are both viable alternatives to traditional building methods. Here are some key takeaways to keep in mind:

The earthbag building technique utilizes natural materials and is lightweight, making it a perfect option for those on a tight budget. The shipping container home technique is highly customizable, and containers are readily available making it an excellent alternative to traditional homebuilding. Alternative building techniques are perfect for individuals looking to reduce their ecological footprint and maintain sustainable living practices.

Industry Statistics

In 2019, the global green building market was valued at approximately $249 billion. This number is expected to grow to over $364 billion by 202 With increasingly affordable and eco-friendly alternative building methods like Earthbag and Shipping Container Homes, it is no surprise that the demand for sustainable housing options is increasing.

In conclusion, alternative building techniques like Earthbag and Shipping Container Homes offer a sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly building option for those who want to move away from traditional construction methods. These innovative building techniques offer affordability, creativity, and durability. So, why not consider a new, sustainable building technique for your next building project?

Message from Future

Hey. I'm feelin' pretty strong today, so I figured I'd send you a message.

I won't worry about indicating all my text in green, because that would just mean the whole message would be green. This is supposed to be a letter, rather than a conversation, but I'll make sure to indicate anything you might say while I write this. For the most part though, please don't. I want to get through my thoughts-- I'm not really available for responses right now.

Anyway,

It's a nice day where I am. Sunny, warm, breezy, there's lots of trees outside, must be a zillion birds. It's nice. I feel strong on days like this.

I just wanted to remind you of a couple of things, while I have the strength to send a message to you. They're not in any particular rank, so don't try to prioritize one of the the other, okay? Just take them as they are.

First, you're doing okay. You've been better about preaching, but you're still not practicing, and that's okay. You don't have to be ashamed about it. You were filling from an empty cup for a long time until the depth you needed to pour from started tunneling into you. It's gonna take a long time to fill that space before you'll be ready to give again. And that's okay. You're not making mistakes, you're not unknowingly choosing the fast or slow path. You're just going at your own pace. That's all you need to do. Fill the hole in your cup mindfully, without rushing. You know a rushed job is a cheap job. Don't cut half your ass off by trying to cut corners, okay? It'll just mean you'll break again sooner.

Enough scolding, though. It's a nice day out. You're starting to have regular time commitments again, and that's great. I reckon you're feelin' like a square peg in a round hole, to have spent all this time realizing your schedule revolves around nature cycles, while your community's schedule doesn't. Don't worry, you'll get to live somewhere soon where your natural cycles are a complement rather than a barb. You'll learn how to utilize different phases, too. You'll have early days, full days, and late nights, and you'll know how to prepare for the ones you can expect, and recover from the ones you can't.

Just, whatever you do, don't stop now. Don't give up on this goal. Don't skrrt into a random other lane. You ARE going towards your goal, it's not getting further away, and you'll reach it surprisingly on-schedule, as long as you simply continue.

Next, stop believing you can't learn something! Knowing it'll be harder for you just means you'll have to take extra care. Learning a physical skill isn't impossible for you, and stop feeling like it is just because you couldn't possibly jump right into doing it for 40 hours a week, or pick up someone's shift. Learning a skill literally isn't like that. Lasting gains happen with a ramp, not a cliffside.

If you want to learn to build a certain kind of house, find a volunteer program! Go out in your community and ask, "hey, who is building earthbag houses?" "Who is building strawbale houses?" "Who is building cob houses?" There'll definitely be someone! You don't have to give up on carpentry, either. You might even realize a love of math again while you're building a house, or planting a garden. And, it's also okay to go learn things without knowing anything about the process beforehand. It's okay to start learning things when you have no experience.

I'm starting to lose my focus, so I'll wrap things up here. Give them a little thought, okay? I love you, I'm proud of you, we'll get to our goals together.

Yours,

Future
