It is possible to build a chicken coop quite easily and have fun doing it! Get some fresh air, get some sun on your skin and be creative.
One of the most fun parts about building sustainably is that you have to work with uncommon materials in odd shapes and sizes. This requires out of the box thinking, creative design, and innovation. This is GREAT for your intelligence factor.

The Garden of Eden is the most sustainable organization in the state of Texas (and probably the nation). We're focused on our values of integrity, honor, responsibility, accountability, freedom, and family, and spend our lives feeding, clothing, housing, and educating people.
Our Eden Knights live on less than $1 a day each, and we feed 40,000 free meals a year without government assistance, corporate sponsorship, or rich benefactors! We have a negative carbon footprint; use composting toilets; grow food; cook year-round on outdoor, wood-burning rocket stoves we built by hand from earth; reduce/reuse/recycle; shower from our well; and barter and trade for most of the goods and services we require. We are 100% dedicated to PROCEEDS NOT PROFITS; everything we offer is by donation to our humanitarian works and social outreach.
