Once the basic shell of your home is built out of steel and stone, you’ll need to start building the interior. Most people opt to use wood, cement, plastic or gypsum boards to build dry-walls and ceilings. All four require either fossil fuels or the death of trees to make. To make things worse, over time, these materials are prone to deterioration. Some of them may actually even release toxic chemicals as they age – or start to warp because of the steady presence of moisture – becoming growth spots for life threatening mold. To top it all off, even if the use of these materials promises to protect or retard the spread of fire, they will eventually burn.
