To Quote John Lennon - Just Imagine

Wherever you are - take a look around. What do you see? If you live in an urban area you probably see tons of grass clippings or palm fronds being bagged up and shipped off to a landfill as waste. "The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that yard waste accounts for 18% of the refuse that we historically have dumped into landfills, a figure that rises as high as 50% during the growing season. Typical yard waste is composed of approximately 25% tree leaves and limbs, and 75% grass clippings." If you're in a rural area, you probably see thousands of acres of crop byproducts left to decay in fields, or possibly being burned, in preparation for the next harvest. Now imagine - incorporating these products, traditionally considered agricultural waste, into a "truly green" building system for the construction of homes and offices of the future. Homes that are easier and quicker to build, more energy efficient and ecologically sound and less expensive that traditional building costs - all without using one single piece of wood! It's Superior Green Building Systems. One of the many reasons we say, "SGBS - It's the Future."
