Residents of the settlement's Big Island Paulino Tutóia, Maranhão, are benefiting from a pioneering experiment with: the construction of green homes.
The old house where she lived with her husband and daughter, Rosilene Machado only preserves the memory of the discomfort. "It was very small," he said.
Rosilene lives in a settlement of the Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA), the Big Island of Pauline, one of 72 islands in the Delta of located between the states of Piauí and Maranhão.
The farmer was chosen by the Environment Ministry to receive the first home eco island. The project is a pilot and part of the government that wants to use bio techniques to improve the lives of people in the community. The bio is a technique that uses materials with low environmental impact.
The choice of this settlement took into account the conditions of environmental preservation of the island, the ease of transportation, tourist attractions in the community and the fact that there are already resources released by INCRA for housing improvement.
The house was built in Rosilene community projects in the community who received training. Outside walls, the bricks gave way to super adobe, a mixture of earth and clay, placed inside a bag of raffia. On the internal structure were used tadd adobes. Everything done on the island and the residents. Part of the wood used in construction were recycled from the former home of Rosilene.
Thermal Comfort
The architect responsible for the project is Cecilia Prompt, consultant to the Ministry of Environment and that was to guide the construction Maranhão. Cecilia explained that the green house is perfect for the climate, which guarantees the so-called "thermal comfort". "There are several factors that make it more environmentally friendly, including the aspect of thermal comfort," said Cecilia.
The house is a hundred square meters, with living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.
The family home Machado will serve as a demonstration unit of sustainable buildings. The idea is to use this technology to build another 33 homes in the community and bring this project to the coastal islands of Maranhao, which are protected areas.
On the Big Island of Pauline live 34 families who live from fishing and extraction of the crab. As the livelihood of the population depends on preserving the pilot project for bio help the community to learn how to build hurting the environment as little as possible.       
Ecotourism
The island will be placed on ecotourism in the roadmap Tutóia. It is a proposal of the environment that encourages community-based tourism. The environmentally friendly homes will be an added attraction.
"It's a way to bring these people to work with tourism and receive dividends in a way that does not mischaracterize their culture and tradition," said Márcio Barragan, coach of the Chico Mendes. Each house costs $ 7000.
