Re: [Strawbale] ... and the future of strawbale building

I have an idea which I wanted to present on ESBG but somehow I forgot. I came back to it when I was invited to speak about strawbale building on the Slovenian most popular radio station. The question which was also presented on the world cafe: how to better promote a strawbale building on an international level? I would get a famous public figure, but I mean a really famous perons which is also positive in the minds of general public to get involved in the strawbale building . Of course he/she would need to have the sense for global environmental concerns and would be interested to build from natural materials. Than we (strawbale builders of all countries) would offer her/him to make him a house for free in exchange for promotion of strawbale building. Of course she/he would pay for the materials (as money is not the question I would guess), but we would offer consulting, planning & building of this "famous" strawbale house. So this would be a world workshop/gathering, where we would show the great intelligence in strawbale building to the world. Who would this person be? Robbie Williams? Madona? We could probably think of 50+ famous public figures who would fit the requirments but this is not the point. The point is if anybody knows a "famous" public figure personally who is ecologically aware and might possibly be interested in strawbale building? This is why I am writing to you all. To share the idea and maybe get some hint. With this project we could easily get to the front pages of many newspapers which can`t be measured in promotional value like anything else. If we don`t find the right world representative of strawbale building you can perhaps try this trick on your national level, which would probably be much easier to suceed.
