Would You Use Green Building Materials Vs. Brick?

Question

I have joined this site I think is pretty cool for Go Green.

Green Building using recycled materials saves you a ton of money. You get instant equity, cash flow, better quality per dollar spent and cost the same as building with stick and frame.

What do You Think?

Answer 1

I guess so,but i thought bricks were made from the earth also?Just like oil comes from the earth.

Answer 2

Brick is environmentally friendly since it's just packed and cooked earth and clay.

Answer 3

Brick, depending on the kind, IS "green"; some more than others.

Perhaps you should do some research before asking these questions!!

Answer 4

I think it is a good idea, but I am afraid it is going to be a difficult job convincing the rest of the world.

A lot of people don't think this way, their stuck in the past, and think every thing is fine with the world.

People really need to open their eyes, and minds.

I am glad someone else on here is thinking Green.

Answer 5

It's really cool.  I really like bonded logics's insulation.  It's made out of recycled blue jeans!   Unfortunately, if you are just the average joe out there (not buying in bulk), these materials are VERY expensive.

Answer 6

When is brick not green??????????  It takes energy to make, but it is strong, lasts for ever and it is made from clay.  That is pretty darned green.   If you want to feel good you could make COB.  Cob is made from manure, mud and straw, Africans and some Europeans use it. Maybe this would make you feel greener.
