How do I connect with people on Central Oklahoma interested in Straw Bale, papercrete, rain water cisterns, etc?
Hi Gary,
That’s a good question! I know there a couple folks locally who have worked with Straw bale as a construction material, and my friend John Rushton has built the ‘netting’ and frames for two cistern jars at his house.
My number is 405-625-5655: if you send me your contact info I can forward it to John and try to find out how to contact the straw-bale user.
Are you starting your own project?

I am also interested in sustainable community design and building as well as learning more education of straw Bale construction and cisterns Garry. Please note recommendations.
Hey Kendra!!!
I’m so sorry I hadn’t responded to this earlier!!! I just saw it. I wish I had been notified that you had commented b/c I would have been in touch about our GREEN DRINKS ‘New Year New Community’ event that I hosted at my house…:-(
But that time has come and gone. We are going to be tabling at the Mardi Gras parade on February 9th and if you want to get more group feedback you can post in the facebook NSN group page. Are you both members of that too? PLEASE get in touch with me when you both can and I can try to help!!!
