One of the most beneficial books for humanity ever written. Once you live in a hempcrete house, you’ll know why.

The reason for the 5* rating is that I’ve built homes and this idea will revolutionize the building industry…I’m looking to grow hemp for the resource to add to my own buildings outside of the mainstream business model. It will happen…the future looks amazing!
