Mud (or Adobe) Floors can look as nice as this and last just as long as traditional hardwood, with correct care:
Cork flooring is some amazing stuff; fully sustainable and more functional than it's other wooden counterparts. This is definitely worth the research.
And last, but not least: American Clay Earth Plasters. I can't wait to own my own property and put this stuff to work!
I'll be sure to update when this cover story hits shelves. For my next great environmental endeavor with the Hippo, I'm writing a cover story about local conservation efforts! So far, I'm speaking with the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and the Russell Piscataquog River Watershed Foundation. I'll keep you all posted!
Love,

my dad just installed cork floors in our living and dining room
they are pretty cool looking and my brothers allergies have been better ever since :)
No kidding! You know, I really wanted an adobe floor at first, but cork just seems better and better with the more research I do. I can't wait for this to publish. Thanks for reading, Viv!
Not only do I like the idea of using renewable materials in my home, but I also like how they look. Both Cork and others such as bamboo have a great look and feel to the material once installed. Thanks for the Adobe info!
