Conference Paper Mechanical Properties of Fibre-reinforced mud bricks
Buildings in ancient civilizations used very high-potential building materials such as stone, mud, wood and straw. Mud and burnt bricks are among the most famous and used building materials. Environmentally friendly building materials must have two basic conditions: - Do not be of high energy consumption materials whether in the manufacturing or installation or even maintenance 2 - Do not contribute to the increase of internal pollution, ie, to complain about the group of building materials or finishes called materials The proper construction is often the natural building materials. It is also necessary to pay attention to the exclusion of materials and finishes that have proved harmful to health or the environment, and to try to find alternatives to these materials and harmful materials. V. C, formaldehyde, which is used as an adhesive and vinyl material used in flooring and plasticizers), which are made of furniture, curtains, doors, blinds and floors where they emit gases that are harmful to health. Therefore, many experts recommend the use of natural materials and paints that depend on their composition On natural oils such as flaxseed or cotton, excluding modern chemical paints that emit compounds harmful to health and pollute the environment.
“products or services that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose”
Earth plaster and milk paints are excellent eco-friendly choices for building materials. Earth plaster is made out of mud and can be used as an interior or exterior finish. ... There are some great choices for eco-friendly flooring; cork flooring, bamboo, and recycled wood flooring are all excellent options.
Environmentally friendly building materials are those that provide appropriate service and life span, with minimum maintenance, while minimizing the extraction of raw materials, the pollution from, and energy consumed by manufacturing and use, and that have the maximum potential for reuse or resource recovery. Please take a look at the following RG links and a PDF attachment for more details.

Go with local materials rather than importing a piece of rare granite from a far way location or country. Rubble created from construction debris can be recycled almost 100%. Minimize use of synthetic materials that take a long time to decompose in the garbage dump. Focus more on plant based material. For example bamboo has some of most amazing strength properties. Explore using those instead of metal rebars. The adobe style building material that one commonly sees in the pueblos of New Mexico is a fine example of how to use natural materials that do not harm the environment.
