Eco building for a school, which teaches in both Spanish and the local indigenous language, does not have to be only cob, recycled plastic bricks and compost toilets... there was plenty of twisting wire for the rebar; mixing, pouring, even patting on by hand, the concrete. The employed locals are great at showing how to, with or without language, and a pleasure to work alongside.
