Styrafoam Building Blocks




From the New York Times; Sept 10, 2006 ...
 Your next home could be made from peanuts.  Here's an interesting, commercially viable idea,  that combines waste reduction with energy savings.  Basically  ... combine a lot of recycled polystyrene, cement, and concrete and you get an light weight, energy efficient, strong building material.  And ... termite proof,  and easily shapable!

Manufactured by Rastra Corporation in Pima Arizona.
