We started a Youtube channel back in 2022 and our first project is a self build Hempcrete house, in the UK. This house is proof that we can build better homes! (Matt is not involved with running this account!) www.youtube.com/@thelowcarbonproject

A few years ago, Matt started self-building an eco house made from hempcrete, entirely by hand. Since the last update, a lot has changed. Plans shifted, the build slowed… and he had a baby! Here's a little video on how it's all going. youtu.be/utlrRGXrukc

Thanks 😊 I thought it was easily available in the US considering how the rules have been relaxed over the past few years. We will definitely be posting more, the build has progressed a lot but I have moved to Spain this year. I will be returning to record updates + some bonus episodes in October🍻

In the ’80s, it became obvious that Earth’s ozone layer was thinning—caused by chemicals in old spray cans and AC units. But some on the far right denied it was real. The world acted anyway. We banned the chemicals. It worked. (Researching 80s-90s right-wing conspiracy theories!)

Yeah but imagine if only a small portion of the "1.5 million homes" promised in the UK were built with it. Doing all of those the normal way would have 50 Million tons of emissions associated with it, using hempcrete could make that net zero. Also possible to build up to 12 stories (so far)

The stalks from the plant grown for flower aren't ideal. The hurd for hempcrete is better coming from industrial Hemp, it is grown tightly together which makes it grow thick and tall (3 to 4m) and is harvested before going to flower.

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

TRIUMPH FOR REFORM AS IT SWEEPS INTO THIRD PLACE

by Our Political Correspondent
Hugh Kip

In the most seismic upheaval in the history of politics, Nigel Farage's Reform party continued its inevitable
march to Number 10 by spectacularly coming third in the Hamilton by-election.
After a disastrous night for Labour which saw the party only come first and win the election, it was clear that Starmer's days are numbered. If this result were replicated in a General Election, Reform would win a massive no seats, while labour would be consigned to the dustbin of history with another massive majority.
The records will show that our prediction that it would be a two horse race between the SNP and Reform became a reality - as the Scots rejected the discredited SNP and consigning them to second place. This proved, as we said, that Reform is the only option north of the border, apart from Labour.
A bruised and battered Starmer was clearly on the ropes as he addressed cheering crowds, and he must now only be days away from resigning - thus paving the way for Nigel Farage and his four MPs to sweep to power.

This is only an estimate and we'll dive deeper once the house is completely finished but no "traditional" new build can come close to this. We will also do a side by side comparison as if this house was built with bricks and mortar 🤢 #climateaction #greenbuilding #CO2 #winning

Playing with the GPT. Built a house that eats CO₂ for breakfast 😎🌱 Our hempcrete + timber home stores 4.75 tonnes of carbon — that’s like erasing 12,000 miles of driving. Suck it, fossil fuels. #Hempcrete #CarbonSponge #RegenHousing #LowCarbonLife #BuildBetter

How does one get "dubbed by the press as the UK's greenest building"? (from article) 😜 I reckon we could give it a run for it's money. We've built a hemp house in Kent, reused materials for hardcore, halved cement use in foundation + heatpump with UFH. We think between 5 & 10 ton carbon negative.
