When I started building with straw, there were only a handful of people doing it. To put it mildly, universities had very limited interest in it. Now that is changing; #strawbuilding can no longer be ignored. But at the working end, there are still only a handful of people doing it. New papers list🧵

But you can expect to see fuel poverty, damp and mould increase. (And don't forget that leakier buildings = more generation & more cables)

These problems are interconnected, and they’re exacerbating climate change, hunger, & health risks.
