This objective seems preferable to me-- Yet such sentiments are so easily derailed with 1984-ish 'double speak', or so it seems... I just received a call to action (or to attention) and a call very related to a 100 mile challenge-- The only action...
This does seem to contradict a little, (like 1984?), but i suppose nothing should surprise an honest person anymore--

Dragon flies seem to come to your home or area, all on their own. If and only if one sustains the correct habitat for them. If one released a hundred dragonflies in the back yard, they would naturally spread out and scout for good hunting grounds....
Here is an interesting use for mushrooms... I hope to spark some discussion-- I found this independent thread some time ago, got swamped with other work but am now very interested in offering a chance for experimentation--

I really don't want to see Genetically Engineered crops anywhere, but especially not in the open air where their genes can contaminate wild-grown species and farmer's crops. Pharmaceutical companies can be scummy on so many levels.

- I helped a guy build a ferrocement house in the early 70s. It came out good.
I don't know if this will work. You want the papercrete to be outside of a ferrocement skin and then cement over that?
Growing mycelium is not that easy. I might work but you have to be able to kill the mycelium to keep it from eating all the paper. I have seen this new product before. I didn't see that they tell you what type of mycelium they use. It's an interesting idea but it may be hard or impossible to pull off. I think you need really controlled conditions to do what they do and I don't think this qualifies.
Oyster mushrooms are somewhat easy to grow and aggressive. They will digest the paper if they go on too long. This structure is a dome or zome?
Interesting idea.
