Would this be cool if your nerdy fablab / makerspace / repair cafe / urban mining hub would start doing the big circular transition things like pressing hyperlocal cob blocks, producing hemp straw tatami mats or timber straw modules for cost effective and climate adapting non-fossil building?
Yes.
Yes.
Tavs Jorgensen develops modern #cob bricks (cob = straw+earth mix) at centre for fine print research at UWE Bristol.
They 3D print extrusion moulds, so you basically get another interlocking shape over night for the next batch. #adobe #mudbrick #earthbuilding #strawbuilding

I'm not sure why the sea surface temperature of the sub polar region of the North Atlantic (the region just South of Greenland) is spiking, but it is.
