Fantastic and enlightening thread about Straw Housing!
Ok it's time for the #strawhouse thread 🧵. Buildings that are already #climatepositive = directly relieve the atmosphere without calculation tricks over lifetime. Straw is a durable passivhaus insulation wall. A agri residue and almost half of it is carbon. Show me!
