Here’s a project I’ve been working on for a couple of years. It’s not directly related to natural building, although this library website could be used to research all types of subjects.

Rosetta Interactive Library (RIL) is a library website where people go to get things done, either by working alone or collaborating with others. Billions of people use libraries. Many of these same people will want to use an online library for similar purposes. Rosetta Interactive Library is user friendly, powerful and adaptable, and can be used in many different ways as the following images illustrate.

“We are working with a community in Chitwan, Nepal where we are planting hundreds of bamboo along a river bed. In order to avoid monoculture, we are also planting high value crops like lemongrass, ginger, lentil, chamomile etc. Our plan is to add value to these plants, for example by building schools with local resources, or extracting lemongrass oil so that we can create a unique village that demonstrates the world the best local use of natural resources.”
