on a somewhat related matter, perhaps look into building with plastic bottles. lots of good reasons to do so. I personally have seen a school in Guatemala where the walls are built with plastic bottles. maybe ck out HUG IT FORWARD in guate as they build the schools.

There is a school building in the town of Merida on Ometepe island constructed of plastic bottles also.
It's very well done, and works well.
