    35 yrs. working in residential construction has taught me some things over the years, and the opportunities for the future in my field are as relevant now as in the past.
    Waste resources are plentiful, and the architecture is exciting and bold, a mix of Indigenous and Western Knowledge to meet human scale need's, and the diversity of life we share with all others.
    Like the forest for the trees, "Our built environments" can be the key to sustainable shared environments.
    Waste is a Valuable Resource

    Apr 29 2011: I agree with your perspective. I would say that we already live in our trash, it's simply not on the curb yet, and furthermore I'm of the opinion that waste should have a tradable commodity price.
    Refuse is without doubt the single most important step for keeping hazardous products from entering shared environments via waste streams.
    Rey-cycle, the second step is the .01% of the hazardous co-mingled waste stream that could be collected for a premium by existing blue box programs.
    Ref-use, The third step is 99.99% useful too and for Built Environments, five waste streams Solid Atmospheric Liquid Energy and Life,Three Perspectives Social Environmental Economic,Two Choices, the future and the past,One World

    Apr 26 2011: It seems that the idea of a waste core building block is common, and over the years I have seen many, but I must say that Harvey Lacey's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMNVEcxZkHA really got my attention. A similar philosophy to my own work and others is very encouraging to see, so I would like to introduce a well researched article link to the discussion-

    Recently I have been raising my voice to articulate and make available my current results, Monolith Biocrete Biobloc
    which are controversial because of their abstract nature, and I agree the comment's are important to a broader discussion
    about Refuse...Ref-Use maybe...
