Thatch is one of the oldest building materials known. It is a good insulator and can be easily harvested. Thatched roofs were once used in Europe; however, due to improved transport and availability, other materials were favoured. Recently in the Netherlands, new buildings are being built with thatched roofs and special ridge tiles on top. Photo: http://maxpixel.freegreatpicture.com
