Building Homes with Hemp: A Sustainable Revolution
Hemp, a versatile and eco-friendly material, is gaining recognition as a game-changer in the construction industry. From reducing carbon emissions to providing superior insulation, here are three compelling facts about building homes using hemp.
Carbon Negative Construction: Hempcrete, a mixture of hemp fibers and lime, offers a remarkable benefit to the environment. When used as a building material, hemp absorbs and locks away large amounts of carbon dioxide during its growth cycle, resulting in a carbon-negative construction process. This means that building homes with hemp can actively reduce carbon emissions and contribute to combating climate change.
Superior Insulation and Energy Efficiency: Hemp-based materials exhibit excellent thermal insulation properties, outperforming traditional construction materials. Hempcrete, for instance, provides superior insulation, reducing the need for additional heating or cooling. This increased energy efficiency not only lowers utility costs for homeowners but also reduces reliance on fossil fuels, making hemp-based homes more sustainable in the long run.
Durability and Healthier Living Spaces: Homes constructed using hemp materials offer remarkable durability and longevity. Hemp-based composites are resistant to pests, mold, and fire, providing a safer living environment. Additionally, these materials allow for better breathability, preventing moisture build-up and improving indoor air quality. By choosing hemp for construction, homeowners can enjoy a healthier, more sustainable living space.

Hempcrete is a composite made from fibers of the industrial hemp plant mixed with lime. But what can you use this for? Well, to build a home of course! It is about an eighth of the weight of conventional concrete and is also an efficient insulator, reducing energy cost up to 50-70% annually! Did we mention hempcrete is healthy, sustainable and affordable too? 🌱 🏚️
The #hemp industry in #florida is growing rapidly So much appreciation for the many friends that I made in the hemp business, from entrepreneurs to generational growers all the way to finance. I love working with so many of you who are looking at different agriculture as well as retail Land development.

"Why Hemp houses will be the best houses in the world" Hempcrete is ten times stronger than concrete, mold resistant, rot resistant, pest resistant, fire resisitant, and carbon negative. It’s even better than cob/adobe. I’ve written before about how cob or “adobe” is the best building material on earth… and it was… until hempcrete. Ten times stronger than concrete, and one sixth the weight, this amazing all-natural material is made of nothing but hemp pulp, lime binder and water. Like cob, it’s non-toxic, super insulating, termite-resistant, fire-resistant, mold-resistant, rot-resistant, “breathable” and will last for hundreds of years. Unlike cob, it has the added benefit of sequestering massive amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. While the hempcrete is a new phenomenon to most of us alive today, archaeologists believe a similar technology was used as far back as ancient Egypt, a French architect says in the mini documentary below: #staylifted #holysmokes #holysmokescrafts #fueledbythc #fueledbycbd #hightimes #rawlife #rawlife247 #cannabis #oneman #breal #massroots #cannabidiol #cbd #thc #mmj #highlife #highsociety #hemp #ismokecannabis #medicalcannabis #highamerica #medicalmarijuana #marijuana #cannabislaws #420 #420daily #hemphomes #hemphouses #hempcrete (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw8mRadh872/?igshid=1tht3wnziylkg
