DYI: Build your own shelter with locally-made, lego-like "green" bricks similar to those the Europeans used "after World War II to rebuild Europe and use all of the waste and rubble."

Or how 'bout serving up a "$20 plan" as a tasty side dish to the city's "[http://www.portlandonline.com/portlandplan/index.cfm?a=288098&c=52256 20 minute plan]"?<br />
