RE: FunFact #4 - Did you know that bricks can be grown by bacteria, instead of baking them?
I really like this kind of thinking.
People have used nature in building and construction long before our more modern 'no care for nature' methods came about.
Entire houses and boats built from wood and sealed using algae and other natural sealants that nature provides.
Temples built from wood still stand strong today 1000+ years later whilst castles and houses are falling down in less than half the time.
I know what you mean, and the construction nowadays is getting worse and worse. Some houses can't even stand for 50 years before they fall apart, only because its cheap. But if you build these houses 10 times, it is more expensive than building 1 solid house that lasts really long. People only think on the short term nowadays...
