I asked 20 future architects, who lives in a climate-friendly / insulated building? The answer was silence.
Then we tried plant and earth based external and internal insulation systems that even novices can use right away.
Look at vivihouse.cc for what is possible.

In late 80s I was social worker in Houston working in Verification unit for food stamps. Made unannounced home visits to verify applicants were qualified &had reported all income etc. Unit was dismantled because cost more to run than were recovering. Very little fraud.So many myths/lies about SNAP
