Why do you think mud houses are better for the environment?

Correct Answer

Mud houses are better for the environment because they are made from natural materials like mud, grass, and wood which are locally available and do not require industrial processing.

These materials are biodegradable and do not cause pollution.

Mud houses keep homes naturally cool in warm areas, reducing the need for electricity for cooling.

Cow dung used for walls is a natural material that does not harm the environment.
