A couple of months ago an editor at SHEKNOWS magazine contacted us about highlighting our home in their sustainable living section. It was a little funny to us because we just do what we do because it's how we want to do things. We realize that building your home, insulated by straw, with your own hands and driving a car that runs on waste vegetable oil are definitely not for everyone. But it is quite the compliment to have a total stranger recognize it as something other people might be interested in, too.
