Fiberglass rebar has been on the market for some time, making inroads where steel rebar doesn’t work well. The first common applications have been used in corrosive environments and places where the induced fields resulting from steel reinforced concrete structures exposed to high levels of radio frequency radiations are a problem. There is now a new entry into this field, rebar made from basalt continuous filaments. Basalt is a common volcanic rock, found throughout the world where volcanoes have erupted and sent lava to the surface. It is actually present everywhere at a depth below the surface—there is a worldwide layer of basalt rock below the sedimentary or metamorphic rock that is exposed on the surface. Basalt Rebar (Zeebars) Basalt Rebar (Zeebars) Here’s a natural substitute for steel rebar.
It seems like this material would work perfectly with earthbag building, especially in seismic areas where additional reinforcing is typically required.

Whether we’re talking about pop-up campers hitched to passenger cars, “fifth wheels” — large trailers towed by pickup trucks — or self-propelled luxury motor homes (affectionately called mobile apartments), those who manufacture them are keen to take weight out of recreational vehicles (RVs).
But unlike passenger car and commercial truck OEMs, those who build RVs aren’t motivated so much by pending fuel economy and/or greenhouse-gas emissions mandates — at least, not in North America, where the regulations don’t apply directly to the RVs themselves. Instead, the impetus for lightweighting has two other rationales. First, every pound/kilogram of mass removed is another pound/kilogram of consumer comfort items (e.g., big-screen televisions) that can be added without necessitating that the RV be pulled by a vehicle with greater towing capacity.
After mass reduction, the hot issue is to reduce RV post-sale maintenance. RVs, especially the larger ones, are rarely garaged. Earthship Global Model: Radically Sustainable Buildings.

Also, some of the more progressive contractors have actually begun to orient buildings in such a way that they can catch the sun's heat . . . and it's not at all rare, these days, to see more glass on the south side of a house than on its northern exposure.
