ECO-FRIENDLY HOMES

We must protect our environment by reducing waste, reusing materials, recycling, and learning more about eco-friendly homes and living. Here we have a great way to build houses. It is called "Binishells" and it may be the greenest way to build ever invented. Using air as their form work, Binishells are inherently green because they provide highly efficient building envelopes. They are also naturally strong and flexible in terms of shape and size. They are unexpensive because they use less labor and material in construction and also because they cost less to operate. There are high-end residential, to schools, gymnasiums, commercial buildings, low cost housing, emergency shelters, storage and an infinite variety of other typologies.

DOMESTIC WATER USE

Water for domestic purposes includes drinking water, use for public services, commercial service establishments (such as hotels), and homes. 325 billion cubic metres of water are so used worldwide each year. The world average water use per person is 52
cubic metres per year.
There is huge variation in water use per person. Between 1987 and 2003 people living in Cambodia, where the majority do not have access to improved water supplies, used an average of 1.8 cubic metres of water each. People in Costa Rica used one hundred times more. The residents of Australia on average each use another 300 cubic metres again per year – much to water their lawns and fill pools.
