NEW plans are in process to develop model ecoretreats and ecovillages for sustainable living solutions in southern Colorado. This site is set ideally to evolve into a portal of eco-friendly content and community to engage people in solutions for global warming and more to help make a better world.

Cob Building

Cob is a natural building material made from soil, water, fibrous organic material, and sometimes lime, sand or clay. There are ancient cob buildings throughout the world that are thousands of years old. Cob can be modeled and sculpted into beautiful forms.

The building featured in this picture is in Mesa Colorado at Six Eagles Haven. They offer summer workshops in cob construction. See more information about it at: https://permies.com/t/133588/permaculture-projects/Cob-House-Build-August-Mesa

First Earth is a good movie about cob architecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjzI2JDvsNA

There are so many ways to DIY build with cob. Much more information on this and many other topics in sustainable living can be developed with your support.
