Voices of natural and alternative building, an Abundant Edge special episode
I haven\u2019t done a special episode in a long time, in fact I haven\u2019t done any at all this season and it\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve done a Regenerative Round Table since I\u2019ve been transitioning from the farm where I lived with my colleagues in Guatemala until May of this year to where I am now, which is a small town about a half hour north of Barcelona in the beautiful Mediterranean region of Catalunya in Spain. In the last few months I backpacked up through southern Mexico, spent a month visiting family in Spokane Washington, then another month visiting my brothers and nephew in Minnesota where we grew up. I\u2019ve been in Spain just under two months and am working with my partner here to start a whole bunch of exciting new projects both online and in the community here which I\u2019ll be sure to talk about in future episodes once things get off the ground.\xa0\nToday I\u2019m going to be giving a review of the previous series on natural building and regenerative living and design from the last handful of weeks for those of you who want the cliff notes and the most important information from about a month and a half of episodes. I\u2019ll be talking about some of the main takeaways and things that I learned from these interviews as well as presenting new questions to you out there listening while sharing some thoughts and stories from some of my own experience as a builder and traveller that have taught me a lot over the last decade\nResources:\nCRI interview on making cob legal\nAtulya Bingham on all the uses of lime\nBenito Steen on natural plasters\nDan Chiras on home scale renewable energy\nDaniel Allen on aircrete\nApril Magill on hempcrete and natural home renovations\nMark Lakeman on healthy community design\nKirk Mobert on Innovations in rocket stoves\nTrey Abernathy on building with bamboo\nChris Magwood on choosing the correct natural building materials
