Almost finalizing this course (or curse, depending of your point of view) we know by heart that for respect somethig you have to know it.

One of the "mantras" of the environmental education is " For take care you have to respect, for  respect you have to love, for love you have to know".

And the best way to know and respect the nature is living near it. Or much better inside it. For example inside a forest among the trees or or in the countryside.

But building a common house in the middle of the nature can be a great problem and a big conservation impact for the landscape and the ecosystem (foundations, heavy vehicles, walls of brick or rocks, many months of  construction, a lot of time of noisy activities....

So, what can be the solution?


     Huts.

A hut is a small building made of wood or local and easy to find and transform materials.

In Scotland, the northern region of the Great Britain island people that live in rural zones use to have a wood hut and for that they are more in contact with the nature.

From here to ten years ago a lot of people is building itself a hut in the woods for having peace and tranquility and enjoy the wildlife.

Even exists a NGO called "A thousand huts"that promote and foment rustic huts in order to promote and foment an easier and healthier lifestyle closer to nature and the love and the respect for that.

They are having more and more success every year, and this is a really nice initiative.
