Straw House Anyone?

The 'Big Bad Wolf' likely never thought of these sorts of straw houses! Properly built straw houses are energy efficient, easy to construct, strong and inexpensive.

Straw, a byproduct of growing wheat, oats, rye and other grains is easy to come by and typically requires little transportation to get to the construction site.

They are also getting more popular press coverage. Here is a little news spot, here on the Weather Channel website.
