My brother and I, being the fearless persons we are, we had the chance to climb an ancient two hundred feet Aztec pyramid. The climb up was incredibly scary.

The idea of an all-natural or “green home” is seen The Living House, which discusses how South East Asians build their homes out of the local plant material (Waterson 1990: 74). I am doing the same with my house as the use of the local material allows the natural ecosystem around the habitat to remain the same and uninterrupted. The floor will be made of Sitka spruce tone wood from the surrounding vegetation. This wood will only be harvested from already fallen trees instead of trees cut down…
