I also read recently that in an average Norwegian house the amount of plastic used in the construction, is 25 Kilo per m2, much of this is PVC. In 1970 the use of plastic was "only" 10 kg. per m2 in a house. Today the use of plastic in construction is increasing, with vindows, doors, painting, insulation and so on from plastic, in fact the whole house is wrapped in plastic. For me I find it very unhealthy for my soul living in a house that is litteraly like a big plastic bag. In fact my plan now is to bulid a house in 100 % natural materials, like wood, clay and so on. For this I find it very usefull to study www.baubiologie.de or www.buildingbiology.net and of course permaculture. I hope everybody reading this will do this as well! Live a plastic free life in a plastic free house, with permaculture as the basic for life. For me this is the ultimate quality of life! Thank you Craig for this article!
