Agreed. Just one more thing: Taking the "extra step" to achieve Passive House status is (by far) not as difficult as is often claimed: It's a matter of know-how and experience. Once implemented, it's actually quite simple. (Good airtightness is the core example—PH makes implementation achievable.)

The new robotic living lab by Bennetts Associates delivers it all 👏🏽. #strawhouse #strawbuilding. Typically you'd expect all sorts of excuses to build with status quo materials, not here.

The U.S. Army's 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps was an all-Black unit of soldiers created to see if bicycles could effectively transport troops. In 1896, the Corps did a test run from Missoula, Montana to Yellowstone National Park, where this photo was taken.

A modern home in Pacific Palisades survived the fire while all the homes around it burned. It was luck, but also it was made to withstand a wildfire, and it did.

Seems counterintuitive to talk about #strawbuilding while the climate arsonists in the offices are setting the world on fire?

This is due to Republicans moving to Montana under the spell of Yellowstone’s John Dutton. Montana’s political landscape has changed because newcomers see this state as a place free of regulations—an imagined libertarian cowboy lifestyle. We’ve gone from purple to red because of western mythology.
Montana is the clearest place to see the nationalization of US politics. Whole Dem ticket was multigenerational MT hunters & farmers in bolo ties. Dem gov candidate owned a gun manufacturer. GOP slate was outta state tech.

1/ You may have seen us talk about formaldehyde — a chemical that causes an inescapable cancer risk for everyone in America.
It’s in the air we breathe. And it’s in our homes: our couches, our clothes, even babies’ cribs.
So what can you do to reduce your exposure? THREAD 🧵
