I have been involved with earthbag building since about 1997, when I first made a documentary videotape (now available as a DVD) about various aspects of natural building called "A Sampler of Alternative Homes," and then decided to build my own house with earthbags, which is also chronicled in another DVD called "Building with Bags."

After finishing my house (which can be seen at www.earthbagbuilding.com/projects/hart.htm), I decided to put together a website (www.greenhomebuilding.com) that I have been adding to ever since. More recently, I have collaborated with Dr. Owen Geiger in creating an earthbag specific website: www.earthbagbuilding.com, which I am sure is the most comprehensive site out there on the topic. We are always looking for more material to post, especially about completed projects, so feel free to contact me about this.

I have been living in Mexico for about four years, and am currently helping build a demonstration earthbag dome at a school for underprivileged kids here. You can see some pictures and description of this project at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellyhart/sets/72157617260502049/
