I have access to a seemingly endless supply LDPE plastic cubes that are 1.5 feet in width, length, height. We can fill them with shredded LDPE plastic to make them hard for free building materials. OR we can send them to you as is. We may be able to pay to ship to you.  

I’ve seen many people use things like this for material to fill their cob houses.

If you are interested, please DM me. And I will send you pictures and exact dimensions.

If you wanna go plastic free, I'd recommend going to your local refillery. Or if there isn't one near by, you can buy bulk hand soap, dish soaps, laundry detergents from RusticStrength.com and you can send back your container when done for re-fill.

If you're into learning about cloth diapering...

Here's a video my wife and I made, about how to wash them (using the above soap):


And how to cloth diaper a new born and what you'll need:


In addition to reducing waste, it's nice that it's cheaper cloth diapering than doing disposable.  

When she was a baby, our daughter had eczema and rashes.  

And so I wanted to chime in to recommend this company's truly hypo allergenic unscented laundry detergent for all laundry while you have a sensitive skinned baby. Great for cloth diapers:

We felt good knowing that the fabrics touching her skin all day weren't transferring anything harmful.

They have soaps with essential oils, for loads when you're no longer washing baby cloths:

Their dish soaps, laundry soaps and hand soaps all have

No Parabens
No Phthalates
No Perfumes or Fragrances
No Synthetic Colors or Dyes
No Sulfates (SLS and SLES)
No Endocrine disrupters
No Animal Testing

And they're vegan, plant-based and biodegradable.

Me and my wife are super into reducing waste. So I like that they offer large bulk options ( up to 5 gallon containers ).  I when I have those, I just refill my smaller one-gallon container and it takes so long to run out of soap. Love that.
And the company accepts their containers back for re-fill. Which they sanitize, re-fill, and re-list at a 20% discount, here:

And I think it's really cool that they are one of the companies providing bulk re-fill stores their soap.
So you can go to your local refillery with your container to fill up, zero waste.

If you haven't seen a Refillery in action, it's really cool and you can see what that looks like on their instagram:

I wanted to chime in and offer my favorite natural soap from this American, family owned company called Rustic Strength.

Their soap lathers REALLY well. Unlike a lot of natural soaps.

They have truly hypoallergenic, unscented soaps:

Or soaps with essential oils:

Simple as that! If you have one and are looking to part with it DM me please! Thank you .

Thank you very much for the video Amy. I’m now looking forward to trying to make some of our own sprouted bread.

Welcome Eric and Callene,

I’m glad you are here. And am grateful for you both to share about raising cows. My family is interested in doing just that. We are about to move onto our family’s property in Missouri. And want to raise and take care of a dairy cow and some meat cows. And give those cows the best care possible.

All 15 will be SKIP books.

And choosing a physical copy doesn’t remove any stretch goal goodies?

Correct.

This clarifies everything for me. Proceed to take my monies.

Thank you Paul.

I understand that if I backed at $65 then wanted 1 physical book, I would have 15 e-book codes. Can I choose which 15 books? And choosing a physical copy doesn’t remove any stretch goal goodies?

Thank you very much for taking the time to illuminate me on this.

How does the mix and match work at $65?
If I request one physical book, then how many of the e-downloads/stretch goals would I receive?

Thank you so much! Love what you’re all doing! Love permies

To answer this, I'm gonna start with the blurb from the kickstarter:

Once the kickstarter is over, everybody will get a kickstarter "survey" so I can get all sorts of details from you about your preferences. People that supported the kickstarter at $25 or more will be asked how many physical books they want. The remaining number that they paid for will be converted 3-to-1 from physical books to eBook gift codes.

For example, at the $65 level, folks can choose between 6 physical books or 18 ebook gift codes. Or a mix! The survey question will ask how many physical books you want. Maybe you will put in "4." So the remaining 2 books are converted, 3-to-1, to 6 eBook gift codes. I will send you 4 physical books and 6 eBook gift codes.

Some people have asked "how do the shipping fees work?" Unfortunately we do not have the ability to scale shipping fees based on the number of physical books selected at a particular reward level. Each reward level has a set shipping fee associated with it according to location. If you are getting only ebook gift codes, then you can select "US Virgin Islands" as your shipping location and the shipping charge will be $0 and you will receive 0 physical books.  It's not perfect, but it's the best we can do within the system.

And if you are actually in the US Virgin Islands and want physical copies... congratulations, you get free shipping!  

Does this answer the question?
