Building materials contribute an estimated 5 to 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. What if we used materials that not only take less carbon to produce but also can capture and store carbon? In California, architect and climber Dylan Johnson joined up with Yvon Chouinard and a seasoned crew to construct two houses using straw bales that would otherwise have gone to waste. Watch Home, Grown to learn why they agree that natural building isn’t just better for the climate—it’s a better way to build.

The Chumash have been a maritime culture for thousands of years, their territory stretching from Malibu to Point Conception and westward to the sandstone cliffs of the Channel Islands, twenty miles

The Chumash have been a maritime culture for thousands of years, their territory stretching from Malibu to Point Conception and westward to the sandstone cliffs of the Channel Islands, twenty miles off the coast of California. To navigate the treacherous currents of the channel for fishing and trading, they built the strong plank canoe tomols for which they are famous. But over centuries of European colonization, which included forced assimilation and enslavement of Chumash people, the craft of tomol building was nearly lost. Today, Alan Salazar works alongside his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities to pass their knowledge to the next generation of tomol builders and paddlers. Please join us in supporting the Tataviam Land Conservancy’s project to build two tomols, which will bring folks from the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes together through educational events and workshops around tomol craft, culture and paddling.
