This Eco House Build Took an Unexpected Turn - The House That Hemp Built. YouTube video by The Low Carbon Project

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.

Lets help fix the plastic catastrophe, the world is facing.

These guys have been trying for the past 10 years and have managed to create a global community of recyclers, makers and inventors... All for free!

Now they need a bit of help to grow even bigger

We recommend using Ecosia for your default search engine, they plant trees for every search you do!!!

There are also alternative browsers such as Brave and Opera if you want to de-google yourself

🚨 Precious plastic update!! 🚨

Plastic is still a problem in the world and these awesome humans have spent the last decade trying to fix it.

Help with their next phase of development.

Even a repost will help to spread the word 🌳🌍🌊

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🍻

Did it 🥳 Thanks to anyone that's following our channel and watching our videos

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

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!)

The organisations and people receiving letters from UKLFI should take a leaf out of @dalevince.com book and just tell them to "fuck off" rather than pandering to their BS threats.

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)

Ahh noooo, however will people cope? "Muuurrgghh, I don't like change"

And this doesn't include the CO2 locked up in the timber used either

Seems like a big fat waste of time and money when there are already far better solutions for carbon capture in buildings.

This 👇 is for 1 house!

Well that's obviously fake, how did he write that? He doesn't even have opposable thumbs! 😜 (Disclaimer... I have never seen Bluey and for all I know does actually have them)

Sounds like a hemp house would be perfect for that. It's pretty hot in UK at the moment and Matts place is staying nice and cool without aircon.

Thanks to everyone who has watched our videos 🍻 😍 🥳

#8 - Why We CAN'T Use Cement - Lime Rendering Our Hemp House YouTube video by The Low Carbon Project

A hempcrete house needs a breathable exterior to protect it from the elements. We used a lime render which absorbs 50% of it's CO2 emissions (to make) as it cures.

lowersioux.com is an amazing Native American community in southern Minnesota. I was really impressed by their hempcrete factory which uses industrial hemp to make homes. They showed me the whole process. Minnesota Innovation. Very Cool.
