[greenyes] Fwd: styrofoam as a building material?

["Blair Pollock" <bpollock@no.address>]

This question posed by a teacher in a maritime county in North Carolina.
Maybe someone can get him started. I expect there's a fair amount of
surplus foam on old docks down there. Thanks.

Hello

I was curious about any styrofoam recycling you may do.  One of the
side projects I am teaching in ELPS (civics) this year is conservation,
and the use of alternative energy, building materials, etc.  One student
was asking about foam houses, built partially from styrofoam blocks
recycled from boat docks.  Do you have any experience with these items?
