2026 is starting by blasting rain vs my garden earth plastered straw bale insulated 300 years old house.
Look how the earth is barely getting darker (wet). The drying potential is stellar.
We may talk about this in the short free #earthbuilding seminar on Jan 9th:

Biodegradability is not a bug, it's a feature.
The trick is to make it possible only when you want it to happen.

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.
It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.
Most notable exception: the Latin American left.
That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

That's why most of us don't want to mix / contaminate #strawbuilding with business as usual materials. We want this to be compostable in a few hundred years, without harming the environment.

Es gibt daher viele Gründe die EU zu retten, auch wenn die EU viele Fehler hat. Der wichtigste Grund ist der schlechteste: es gibt einfach keine realistische Alternative mehr. Die Alternativen sind US Anarchokapitalismus, russisches Scheißhaus oder chinesische High Tech Diktatur. Da wähle ich EU.

Working really hard to be able to share something that far exceeds the literature in the next few weeks. Having read your work, it's not as natural (straw, hemp, lime) as we'd prefer, but it will still exceed what's been peer reviewed as possible and being here in the US is considered quite radical

The wonderful @johnczulowskiburns.bsky.social has joined Bluesky! Do give him a follow. He's the architect who produced the digital models of our buildings for #FormFollowsFuel, which enabled us to calculate #embodiedenergy for each of them. Also the stunning cover image.

And most importantly, your biggest emissions comes from your bank account and super/insurance if you are not yet with a sustainable institution. Maybe now is the best time to do the switch! Any 1000$/y in a "normal" account means investment into FF equivalent of a flight from NY to Seattle.
