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

How we're going to build the largest plastic recycling project in the world
YouTube video by One Army How we're going to build the largest plastic recycling project in the world

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

Please share ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒ

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

๐Ÿšจ Precious plastic update!! ๐Ÿšจ

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 ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒŠ

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š 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 October๐Ÿป

Can you help push us over the line?

You might even enjoy some of our videos about building Carbon negative houses out of Hemp ๐Ÿ˜Š

Please share with anyone you think might be interested in that sort of thing โค๏ธ

In the โ€™80s, it became obvious that Earthโ€™s ozone layer was thinningโ€”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.

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.

It's not necessarily the architects fault. Most likely the council and planning officers. Source - girlfriend is an architect and has to deal with their ridiculous requirements all the time

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)

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

This ๐Ÿ‘‡ is for 1 house!

A little short showing the evolution of the Hemp house garden. Using some permaculture techniques Mat has managed to build a little micro farm outside his kitchen.

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.

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

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.

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.
