I am a straw builder because it's fun and 1000% worth the effort.
The future is right here and it's comfy and regenerative.
I will share my knowledge about building passive house modules and retrofit #strawhouse panels on the 1. December. It's free. You can do this. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Let's revolt.
If we want to meet climate targets, the new world will be built from #renewable things, the old will be improved with them. It is not the new miracle concrete only made in one place, sold at a high price. It's #climate tech that liberates everywhere.

Canada got a reprieve from the tariffs, but the issue hasn't gone away. We should be building with local low-carbon materials that are grown, not mined.

For green building, there is nothing more local than straw
Canadians should have a closer look at this home-grown product.

This area features a higher density than most of 60/70ies concrete outskirt mass housing development sins here. With much more livability. Yes, there is a street in this picture, it's just that this part of the city is not designed around Cars. Bremen, Germany
