The link below shows a home outside of Tahoe that was insulated with straw bale, which apparently retains energy very well, yet is extremely sustainable. After a quick google, it seems as if this is used primarily in the west and southwest and that there may be issues with code. Also, it seems as if there may be issues in keeping it from rotting. Regardless, its interesting to check out the quick clip.
