In the movie, we watched a house made out of green materials be built from ground up. It was a very interest movie to watch because it demonstrated how environmental friendly materials for a house can save the environment as well as money. Many steps were involved on this house such as mixing straw with clay to do the stucco on the house. Several layers were required to get the wanted look. This step was also done in the interior of the house.
