[Cob] philosophy

I appreciate Shannon's comments and completely agree with this in  
particular: "The issue is not is this possible, but are
the tradeoffs worth it." That was what I meant by many of the  
comments I made regarding embodied energy. We can scrounge things  
like doors, windows, post-n-beams, and urbanite, and call it  
recycling (in it's best form) but they are not sustainable in it's  
true sense because if manufacturing seized those items would  
disappear for everyone. Each person draws a different line for what  
they think of as manufactured too. It's definitely a philosophical  
discussion.
