Why Rammed Earth?
Earth is the most abundant, globally available, natural resource that humans have. More than 50% of the people on our planet live or work in dwellings constructed primarily of earth. Yet, our culture has migrated towards mass-produced, subsidized materials that in many cases contain harmful chemicals. Rammed Earth construction is truly the most sustainable and healthy movement in the green building arena today.
