What are the benefits of using natural materials and where
does technology fit in?
Answer Posted / guest
From an ecological standpoint, natural materials have the
advantage that they generally don't require much energy to
manufacture or even transport them. This savings in energy
will likely diminish the amount of greenhouse gas (CO2)
that is emitted and also the amount of fossil fuel
consumed. From an aesthetic/emotional standpoint, natural
materials feel much more, well, natural. Technology is
always behind the scenes in our modern world, and I am not
one to spurn its use when appropriate. I just feel that one
should look to the simpler, natural solutions first, before
employing more technological ones.
