Hemcrete
Hemp concrete........Imagine the possibilities......
"Buildings account for thirty-eight percent of the CO2 emissions in the U.S., according to the U.S. Green Building Council, and demand for carbon neutral and/or zero footprint buildings is at an all-time high. Now there is a new building material that is not just carbon neutral, but is actually carbon negative. Developed by U.K.-based Lhoist Group, Tradical® Hemcrete® is a concrete substitute made from hemp, lime and water. What makes it carbon negative? There is more CO2 locked-up in the process of growing and harvesting of the hemp than is released in the production of the lime binder. Of course the equation is more complicated than that, but Hemcrete® is still an amazing new technology that could change the building industry."

Puts a whole new spin on the term "brick weed."
You can make anything out of hemp, including fuel. I wish these gov't f-ts would get with the program and stop allowing our world's food to be used in cars.  ... Idiots. Instead of feeding the hungry we're leveling trees to plant corn for fuel. What a waste of human existence.
I want a hemp house! |
