This is great stuff. Hempcrete should replace concrete wherever possible.

Unlike the harvesting or production of other building materials like wood or concrete — the latter of which is responsible for 8% of carbon pollution globally — the cultivation of hemp is eco-friendly.
@NorthernInvader There are several startups engaged in generating zero-carbon concrete. My favorite is <https://sublime-systems.com>. They not only use silica-based material rather than limestone, they don't use heat in the manufacture process (where a lot of concrete's footprint comes from.) #ClimateChange #MaterialScience
