Do EcoCocon buildings attract rodents and insects?
No more than brick or concrete buildings. While hay may be attractive for its leafy material, straw only contains cellulose and is not a food source. Rodents enjoy building tunnels and look for cavities. Highly compressed straw is not a suitable environment for them.
Insects do not fare much better. Termites have no particular interest in straw. Standard protective measures should be taken in areas where they are active.
Although rare, booklice can appear in straw buildings. These tiny insects sometimes multiply in conditions of high relative humidity, and typically disappear on their own in a matter of weeks. While they can be a short-term nuisance, they are harmless to both humans and property.
The bottom line is, pests are just as common in straw houses as they are in conventional houses and same prevention measures apply.

Unsurprisingly, it's one of the FAQs on our website 🐭

There’s so much interesting research and innovation in Europe around sustainable materials. But unfortunately since US and Canadian codes don’t reference (essentially, trust!) the Eurocodes or other international standards, everything has to be retested at great expense for the North American market

Let's not be so foolish as to counter this with even more bricks, concrete and steel. What we need here are better forms of settlement, redestribution of land, space and renewable materials. Instead of putting more energy into the climate through extractive economic activity into lost places.

Clay is an excellent protection for timber/ straw (as our ancestors knew). This pretty much aligns with EcoCocon's fire tests where 25mm of clay plaster provides 2 hours of Resistance to Fire to EN 1365-1

Citizens call for sufficiency and regulation — A comparison of European citizen assemblies and National Energy and Climate Plans There is a growing body of scientific evidence supporting sufficiency as an inevitable strategy for mitigating climate change. Despite this, sufficien…

High-level response to the energy crisis:

Most politicians want to diversify fossil fuel imports and deregulate corporations

Some want green growth with renewables

Almost no politicians want to create wellbeing by sufficiency and regulation

Honestly, it feels like beeing trapped in the Groundhog Day movie in Germany, except that it's not about love but about fossil necromancy.

Thank you, you described it well in the video. I feel that the social media connection we have all built together (also on the bad site back then) in sustainable construction is very important for the whole picture now.

This hurts. While building & bricks saved for reuse is best, barring that demo brick can be used for rammed earth walls & in earth block construction

Big pile of broken bricks and cement left after demolishing a building

That used to be a house.
In Germany, they call that 'recycling'.
Masonry of fired bricks and use if concrete contributes significantly to climate change and species extinction.

Farage fumbles as Iran war becomes cost-of-living issue The Reform UK leader has changed his tune on Britain’s involvement in the Iran conflict as oil and gas prices soar.

Farage used to be a city banker. He knew this war would drive oil prices up. He didn't care.

He knows recessions tend to drive people to the political Right.

Our country needs a leader who would put the people's needs above their own.
