FYI, there is a really good Google map of strawbale and other 
eco-friendly building like the one you are talking about already on a 
cool site:
www.naturalhomes.org

I would like to nominate the webmaster of this site to the 
GSBN.  Oliver Swann is from England, his wife is from Russia, and 
they have land in Poland.  The web site has a great catalogue of 
straw-bale and natural buildings, and is really well-rounded 
globally.  I've only met Oliver via email, but am impressed with his 
knowledge, cross-cultural presence, and web work.  I expect he would 
glean a lot from the discussion, and projects mentioned might make it 
to the website.  His email is "Oliver" <house at naturalhomes.org>
