[Greenbuilding] Staggering 1/2 tonne per person per year cement production!

[Frank Tettemer]

Getting back to the cement, it is simply staggering. It makes our 
individual efforts seem pointless.

/Could someone tell me who I need to contact to get my 1/2 tonne of 
cement?  :)/

I don't know, either san jay, to whom we must request, in order to 
receive our own half ton.

But I do know that the efforts are, and have been, point-full. These 
steady small developments,( in lightening the load on the Planet, in 
attempting the Living Building Challenge, in becoming responsible for 
your own energy production, repair, and consumption, ) can ( & will!!) 
add up to tipping the scales, if we just keep at it for the next few 
centuries.

Think back, how 20-30 years ago, solar energy had such a lethargy of 
marketing and slow sales, and high expense.  Yet now, the accumulated 
efforts, of proponents of solar energy as a viable alternative, are now 
being viewed as credible. Many people have kept at it, year after year, 
until the scales have been tipped, and we'll get to see more and more 
villages becoming electrically self sufficient, like in Europe.

I just really would like to view all our green building, natural 
building, efforts as that of the-glass-half-full;
quite point-full, well developed thinking, over the past three decades, 
and frankly, quite expectant of positive changes,;
rather than to consider our efforts as the-glass-half-empty, as being 
point-less.

Opti-Mist-Me,
