Do you want to learn more about green building and gain valuable hands-on experience by helping to build an earth sheltered home? There are several natural building internship and work exchange opportunities at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in northeastern Missouri, an off-the-grid intentional community devoted to ecological sustainability. Read ahead to learn more about one particular earth sheltered home and green building construction work exchange.
You can learn all about natural building and earth sheltered homes this summer by helping to build an earthbag dome. Dancing Rabbit member Jeff is currently building an earthbag dome, and he’s seeking construction help for the 2009 building season.
You can gain green building experience with earthbag construction, cob, earthen plasters, and living roofs. Jeff’s earthbag home will feature all of these natural building materials and techniques.
Work exchangers will also have ample opportunity to experience community life at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage, and basic living expenses and food are all provided for. Experienced builders and avid learners are welcome to apply.
Check out Jeff’s call for work exchangers at his earth sheltered home and green building construction work exchange page.
