In some ways very sad to read of Scott Adams' experience, however I suspect that it is all too common, even in Australia as well.

As someone who has always been interested in "saving the earth" I find it difficult to comprehend the difficulties he went through.

So what can be done to lessen the drama for the less-informed? (If information is in fact the key?) What other options are there?

If YOU are not prepared to accept the total responsibility of different construction methods, then don't expect ANYONE else to do it for you !

Unfortunately, it's only the rich, who can afford to lose, and the game, who will do it themselves, who get to do these fancy "Read-About" projects.

I would even doubt if a local suburban Council , would accept a home design using straw-bails.
Out in the rural setting, where your design cannot impinge on anyone else, you could get away with it.
I think I saw an article a few weeks ago , where a country home was built from straw, and they did not even tell the Council.

I think that it was all hypothetical, anyway !
