One cardboard house: http://www.housesofthefuture.com.au/hof_houses04.html I've seen another cardboard structure as well, a community centre or someting, that is actually in use but I can't find a link to it. Apparently with the correct treatment it's got for 30+ years. There was a little wood in the sturcture to support a large roof span but other than that is was all cardboard.

HEY, That cardboard house SUCKS! but did you look at the rest of that site?
"The YBE 2004 Houses of the Future project which will feature six houses, each made of a different base material. Each architect-designed house will be environmentally-sustainable, affordable and futuristic:"

So there are 6 houses, concrete, steel, timber, cardboard, glass and clay.

I know the old joke, but that glass house looks cool!

the docs read this:
A composting toilet system produces nutrient-rich water for gardening.
the chinese used human faeces in the past, this is known as 'night soil'.
although nutrient-rich, it has a very dangereous counterside: is spreads diseases. human bacils get on crops eaten by humans.. generally this is not a good idea.
i would have prefered some methane reactor that provides in heating and/or electricity.
