I think that the mechanical pulp should also be healthier than pulp processed with chlorine, which is extremely toxic. When I was in high school my family lived within smelling distance of a pulp mill. It's too bad I didn't know about papercrete back then. A few tanker truckloads of pulp could make a house almost overnight with the right formwork in place. It should be easy to rig up a pump system that also injects cement slurry so you could go straight from the tanker into the form in one easy shot. If there was a pulp mill within driving distance I would probably do papercrete almost every day. : )

I guess I should ask some questions this spring when I going the Pulp Mill shut-down in Grande Prairie Alberta. I believe the virgin pulp is a little stronger than recycled. Chlorine mills have better pulp than thermo mechanical mills. Even though the latter is way more environmentally friendly. I don't think getting paper is a problem for most people anyway. I live a cross the road from the recycle depot. I can help them out when it starts blow away with are normal 100km winds. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
