Despite numerous advantages of eco-houses along with vast
research experience and positive attitude of physicians and
ecologists, they can hardly take their firm place in our life.
The reason for it may be in the fact that the value of the
natural materials (like straw) is too low. A building
constructed of straw assembly units can be about five times
cheaper than that of conventional brick. It’s easy to make a
simple conclusion that massive building of such houses may
radically change the market situation leading to recession of
construction companies’ and developers’ incomes. They don’t have
it on the agenda right now for sure. At the same time, the
wealthiest people really care about what inheritance they hand
down to their descendants. That’s why they are usually concerned
with the environmental conditions, apart from all the financial
matters that are on their list of important things. You can
never buy new health, can you? Thus, care about health is no
longer an individual matter, but social in general. Every single
person is responsible here. Therefore, the first and the main
important duty of eco-houses is to minimize negative impact on
the environment and utilize wastes with minimal damages. That’s
what the whole reasonable world must learn. Read more about
