In a country With both housing shortages l and world-leadingcoffee production，a small company has， quite brilliantly， found away to use one in order to fix the other.
在一個既有住房短缺问题又有世界领先的咖啡产量的国家，一家小型公司非常出色地找到了一种方法，利用其中一个情况来处理另一个。
Coffee husks 2.a material surrounding the prized beans. arebeing turned into light building materials that can make the panels 3of a house for as little as $4，500.
咖啡壳是一种包裹着珍贵咖啡豆的材料，它正在转变成轻型的建筑材料，只需4500美元就可以做出一栋房子的板材。
The company. which tried 10 develop a material from rice fiber，sawdust 4. and even recyCled plastic， settled on coffee husk for itsavailability and insece/water proofing 5 at last. Another benefit？Using coffee husks would stop them ending up in landfills.
这家公司曾试图从米纤维、锯末，甚至回收塑料中开发出一种材料，但最终因其可用性和防虫/防水性而选择了咖啡壳。另一个好处呢？利用咖啡壳可以避免它们最终进入垃圾填埋场。
“We saw that there was a huge necessity for a lightweightconstruction 6 system for housing and classrooms in undevelopedplaces where traditional construction systems cannot go-like bricks.cement， and concrete.”said CEO Alejandro Franco.
首席执行官亚雷汉德罗·佛朗哥表示：“我们看到，在无法使用像砖块、水泥和混凝土那样的传统建筑体系的不发达地区，住房和教室的轻质建筑体系是非常必要的。”
The panels have to be able to be loaded and transported on small boats.helicopters， or even on the back of a donkey， and for the most part they can.
这些板材必须能够在小船、直升机，甚至是驴背上装载和运输，而在大多数情况下它们都可以。
Each panel has a lightweight steel frames 7 that， like LEGO. can click togetherwith minimal tool use.
每个板材都有轻巧的钢框架，就像乐高一样，可以用最少的工具安装在一起。
When a hurricane hit the Colombian island of Providence last November.destroying more than a thousand homes，the company donated two complete housesthat the army received and fitted，which was a real b00n 8 to a community.
去年11月，当一场飓风袭击了哥伦比亚的普罗维登斯岛，摧毁了一千多所房屋时，该公司捐赠了两栋由军队接收和组装的完整房屋，这对一个社区来说是真正的福利。
“The system worked perfectly considering that there was no energy supply， theairport damaged， no food. etc.-all the problems that you can imagine. We think ourhouses are an excellent solution 9 for the housing crisis l0 there."
“在出现没有能源供应，机场受损，没有食物等所有你能想象到的问题的情况下，这个系统发挥得非常完美。我们认为，我们的房子是解决那里住房危机的绝佳方案。”
