Nice try but we weren't born yesterday.

The environmentally conscious around us are learning the ancient art of the mud hut.

They will soon learn about fire and burning buildings

  It might seem like straw bale houses pose a tremendous fire hazard, but they provide roughly three times the fire resistance of conventional homes [source: Morrison]. Loose straw is indeed flammable, but the bales are so tightly packed that they actually increase fire resistance. In a tightly packed bale, there's no oxygen, which reduces the chance for combustion. The plaster coating of the walls adds an additional fire-resistant seal. The National Research Council of Canada conducted testing where straw bale walls withstood temperatures up to 1,850 degrees Fahrenheit (1,010 degrees Celsius) for two hours [source: Mother Earth News Magwood, Mack, Therrien].
- I thought the same thing for some time. I watched an interesting video about homes using straw as an insulator and learned some interesting things. Here's the timestamp where they talk about using straw.

Have you seen ordinary insulation?

I saw on FB that a friend of mine built and lives in one of these and I didn't have the heart to bring up Goldilocks or Trogdor the Burninator.

Straw homes are the way of the future, says every alternative construction and energy believer ever. Along with cobb, tires, and whatever else.

They’ve been around forever. They’re really only suitable for certain environments. They don’t last as long as regular construction. They are good at what they do while they do it, though. I wouldn’t have a problem living in one.

Funny (if unoriginal) take. But in reality, properly compressed straw bales turn out to be a really good building material.

I helped buildting a straw bale house like 20 years ago. They were not specially compressed or anything, but they are length wise

Bale and daube or adobe houses are really nice though.

They feel really different to live in. Some much more temperature stable.

My family live in a straw bale house we built in 2002.

Don't they, like, smoke a lot?
