Really LOVE your site and important articles eco-geek staff.

I notice that in the bio of this this article's author, Matt, there is mention of a Dayton Circus. I always wanted to run away and join the circus (didn't you?), but i had no idea that it would require a boy to shlepp all the way to busy Dayton, OH.

In any case, I'm writing on a creative whim and the hope that Matt might check back here and hook our small nonprofit start-up team with any one there at "the circus" with talents in the area of creative design (esp web design), copy writing, and etc.; anyone that would enjoy to take a look at a mad, impossible, fantastic collective dream for a new kind of international ecological and humanitarian aid community that a bunch of friend from around the planet and I have been cooking up?

If so, would you be so kind as to point them towards the first draft of a project intro/overview .pdf there at our (very much) "under construction" web site: www.equilife.org?

I'd write more but, will save my excited rant for the lucky event of you (who every you are) syncing-up this quirky, but deeply sincere, missive with just the right creative/design-head friend of yours (...oh please, please, please!).


Thanks a million (happy whatevers),

Wow, if everything on this article is 100% true and there aren't any disadvantages that we aren't aware of, Mr Liu, is going to be one very, very rich man. Retired too.

The link at "...may also improve air quality" is broken. Leave off the last parameter and it works:

What happens during a house fire? Or say, a building demolition. Wouldn't it be disaterous if the mercury gets out?

There's an article about this in this month (or last month's?) Popular Science magazine. In fact, that picture was probably lifted from their web site. Anyway, according to Popular Science, this dude had trouble getting his bricks to pass federal safety standards, which stipulate that a brick must hold a certain amount of pressure after 30 (approx.) periods of freezing that heat. The dude tooled and re-tooled to get it working. Sounds good to me. Saves money and more environmentally friendly. Problem is, who uses brick anymore? It's all basic concrete, metal and glass, or stucco now. ???

Brick is still extremely popular in many regions in the US. The article said 9 BILLION bricks are produced each year.

@fred
I assume it would be more utilized in third world countries...

Why are these new bricks easier to work with? There is nothing in the PS article about it.

Kudos to Mr. Liu. It's high time we have a new brick.

i have discovered a bio-fuel that i now have tested and works great.. can some one point me in the right direction to now bring it to market.. it is totally green and earth friendly...
