It explores the environmental benefits of strawbale building, such as energy efficiency, superior insulation against heat and sound, and reduced reliance on timber, which helps preserve forests. The film highlights how ordinary people can adopt this method to create durable, comfortable homes that lower energy consumption for heating and cooling, contributing to a more sustainable future. It also draws on research, including trials comparing strawbale walls to conventional materials, and references the long history of strawbale construction globally.
