Discover how Steve and Practice Architecture’s mission to confront issues concerning plastic waste, soil degradation, carbon emissions and human wellbeing saw them harness hemp as a low-impact, carbon-capturing material for the 21st century.

Toxic mold is a very common incurable disease in North America, caused by living in homes that have mold. Hemp construction is mold resistant, this is the solution to a huge health crisis.

I’m building my new home in Costa Rica with hemp, thanks for doing this!

[@mariamuriilo9006]

That is amazing! I would like to do the same in Costa Rica.

[@andreafoti6634]

thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I hadn't realized hemp could be used this way-it's so inspiring. My favourite element in the structure is the glass house-stunning

[@Ifstarsaligned]

It's crazy how much you can actually do with hemp - such a versatile plant, it's a shame that it's been banned in a lot of countries

[@saulbarenson6809]

Unfortunately this is exactly the reason why it’s illegal. It’s a miricle plant.

Love this! We need to use hemp for so much more than we do today! 💕

[@hempsaveearth8710]

I estimate that this will soon be our reality if we keep pushing the envelope of with research and testing.

The wonderful thing about him and all the parts of that plant Chicken so animals that have stomach issue You added to the animal feed It also filters very well when you collect natural water Or you doing runoffs recycle in the water turn out the spot My grandma used to cut it up and mix it with her Make Bunnings with ITIT's hard to explain what buttons is but it's something you put in a cool pot To keep the bugs away but you mix it with cow down

[@livetoloveandlaughlivefora6800]

Put rowing hemp as a sustainable Material it's almost like potato And peanuts you have to move it around in the soil When you plant 1 place you go back different place the next time because it eats a lot of the material from the soil

[@mlc2158]

[@mork07101960]

I LOVE THE BILLIE JEAN VIDEO

[@shadeaquaticbreeder2914]

0:53 they had to get a license to grow a plant... That always makes me want to absolutely die laughing but at the same time I can't laugh at all bc those restrictions are placed upon me as well

[@livetoloveandlaughlivefora6800]

I hate to hear people say Hemp/marijuana Plant Is a new sustainable material just like it's Just Created In the Caribbean I grew up with the fisherman rope being made out of hemp Cocoa's bag And hemp bags were made to use for mattress Rugs Flour sack I'm also to make dolls Bean bags that we use to play with You put black eyed peas in a little sack made out of And if your family didn't have Hap materials play default You use a All socks if anyone remember that
