Re: Dealing with USA Local Zoning on Strawbale, Greywater, Composting Humanure




Dear Allan,
It seems if you are big business or the military, waste disposal and 
straight out waste generation are no problem.

However for the rest of us with a conscience, dealing with waste and green 
building issues are very much an opportunity that the bureaucrats seem 
intent on stopping.    I wonder why that might be???

Could it be that the money tied up in traditional building methods is so 
great that alternatives are not to be tolerated??    Heavens forbid, if 
people could actually build their own homes at a small fraction of the cost 
necessitated by the current regulations.

If people did that surely we would end up with chaos and great swathes of 
unemployed bureaucrats???

I am not implying that I favour a return to the dark ages, yet I sure would 
like to see more time spent looking for alternatives to the status quo, and 
I think there is only one way to do this and that is for individuals to 
challenge the powers that be!!

Good luck, and remember when Governments start saying you can't do this or 
that, that they are the same people coating their bullets and bombs with 
spent uranium and killing their own soldiers and innocents with the 
lingering death of uranium poisoning..  Merde what is the world coming to??

Robert
