This is not anything political.
So many groups or folks who are into alternatives such as Papercrete use solar and or wind power.
It is just an opportunity like the "Strawbale building " workshops, or "Earthbag" workshops that are held around the country.
Guess I get info on so many wonderful opportunities to learn and grow.
Many have contacted me off list to request the info.
Spaceman is our leader and he is the one to make the decision.
Cross learning is a good thing.
What others have posted about other related topics has expanded my knowledge base.
I love to learn and research.
I started out with Rammed Earth, moved on to Strawbale, then to cement and Earth Ships, finally to Earth bags and now to Papercrete.
They all have applications that are wonderful.
We are currently building an Earth bag cellar and will build a Papercrete home.

Subject: [papercreters] Re: Permission from Mods (Not a money making venture, but educational)Its certainly not my decision. My opinion fwiw is that we'd best stick to papercrete (and maybe some closely related things like paperadobe). Otherwise most of us on the list has other often somewhat political views on things to fill the list with, and it ceases being of much use for papercrete, or anything else.
