treehugger.com — So forgoing hardwood or carpet in favor of dirt and mud may seem like going to extremes in the name of green living. But who can resist flooring that is this attractive, comfortable to walk on, heat-absorbing, and earth-friendly?

UM, kind of like you never ever want to use too much water or oil when cleaning wood floors..... wood: not water-resistant or waterproofAnd don't even get started on wall-to-wall carpets, water, and mold......

And after calling the past generations primitive we go right back to the way they used to build does not sound so primitive now, does it.

Is it hypo-allergenic? A concern I have of carpeting. And how easy it it to clean? A little vacuum work gets my hard wood clean most of the time, a little mop work maybe on spills.

Wow, quetranza, those damned hippies must really piss you off. From what I can tell, your position is that since we have SUV's, land for suburbs, land in Alaska to drill, we should take full avail of such opportunities to pollute the world we live in, like it's some kind of god given right, no duty, to do so. That's awesome.
