                    Americas prefer to invest in 'earthen' structures, including 
                    earthship which is predominantly 'earthen', with a marginally 
                    greater percentage of people willing to invest in 'earthen' 
                    structures than the percentage of people who were willing 
                    to build using 'earthen' techniques. In the Americas there 
                    is a significant reluctance to invest in straw bale structures 
                    compared to the percentage willing to build with straw bale. 
                    If you are considering building a straw bale home in the Americas 
                    the impact of this may be a factor to consider in the re-sale 
                    potential of your home. </FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1BBF3764-2336-4F09-A0C9-9BF0271CA334/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
