I rode my bike over to the Capitol this week and stumbled across the US Botanic Garden's straw bale house and sustainability exhibit. This outstanding exhibit showcases a wide variety of garden and home-oriented solutions for sustainable living.
As part of the One Planet-Ours! exhibition at the US Botanic Garden during the week of September 21- 27, 2008, Builders Without Border will offer a free series of presentations and a hands-on strawbale workshop in the Washington D.C. region. Download info on the presentations here.
The One Planet installation is open and free to the public until October 13, 2008 at 100 Maryland Avenue, SW at the west side of the U.S. Capitol.
Stop on down and check it out - the straw bale house was constructed using less than $625 worth of materials to create the super insulated 16x12 structure!
