Green Collar Jobs Training Program Update (6/23/09)

Today the offline crew traveled back to Nanawale to continue work on Mark's Earthship. Trainees learned how to create a mixture of dirt, cinder, and cement to form a wall foundation that will be placed around the framework of the sustainable home. The concrete mixture was placed into white bags and placed on top of each other. Barbwire was also placed between these bags to add for increased support.

At the same time, the online crew continued work on the web. They shared information, discussed the Hawaii Sustainable Business Directory, wrote blogs, and edited videos. However, the day came to an early end because the Internet server went down.

Lessons and Tips of the Day:
  1. Patients is a virtue!
  2. Earthships are a sustainable, reliable, and affordable option.
