Hemp houses could be greener, fire-resistant and built like Lego.


It's sustainable, heat resistant, humidity-free — and carbon negative.

I saw a story where the British used hemp for the walls in the storage area of museums because of it’s tempature and humidity insulation properties...Hempcrete...

I saw this years ago but with straw. Smell was an issue as well as mold.

Adobe comes to mind. How did/do they deal with it?

Clay. Hempcrete has a lot of hemp fibers.

I new that good buddy. The Egyptians used clay and straw back in the day and a lot of those blgs are still around to tell the tale.

I'd use it. Seems like a good negative foot print. Easy win.

more farming = more deforestation = not green or good for our planet long term.

But putting plants out and having them max out are two completely different skill sets.

We're leaving Thursday, getting a room so we can train and get in show shape for the party. Should be fun.

more hemp being grown will be "green" since one use will be substituting for products normally made from trees IE various paper types etc. hemp also uses less to no fertilizer versus other crops, & is good in a rotation, rebuilding the soil & having anti-pest properties as well. nobody is suggesting cutting national forests to turn into pot farms...farmers currently losing their ass could switch from tobacco etc to hemp.
