  1. Funny how solutions like this EXIST but here we are in 2023 paying God damn carbon tax to make the weather gooder and not building enough homes to house the growing population in this country. Carry on with climate lie and constant fear mongering though 🤡🤡🤡🤡

  2. Hemp building materials are perfect considering the construction industry (like concrete is a huge one) makes more emissions than air travel does. If you go find a 100 year old house in the UK you might find it has a thatched roof made from straw, and insulation made from sheep's wool and straw was common too and yep even hemp fibres.

  3. Shared this with a friend who will be building in the next two years in a rural area in the North East. He was concerned there might be issues with bugs or mice. Should he be concerned?

  4. This thing is amazing, construction with concrete blocks produces a huge amount of CO2, being used by almost every country it takes up a significant portion of our entire carbon footprint. If hemp replaced even a small portion such as 30% the carbon negative nature could actually counteract some of the emissions created by the rest of the 70% due to construction.
