For two weeks at the end of November, Habitat Recovery Project hosted a Bioconstruction Workshop designed to teach our community, which is at the epicenter of the climate crisis, how to build using natural, reclaimed, non-toxic materials instead of petroleum-based building products.
During this workshop, 65 people
learned about Indigenous building
practices, bioconstruction
techniques and materials. Building
materials were upcycled, sustainably
sourced, or natural materials like
Spanish Moss, clay, sand, and straw.
This project repurposed hundreds
of gently used glass bottles into
bottle bricks to create beautiful
windows, in a structure that came
to be known, colloquially, as an
Earth Church.
