Part 3/8:
As the global community seeks solutions to curb climate change, natural building materials like hemp offer promising benefits. These materials not only lower the carbon footprint of construction but also actively sequester carbon during their production. When industrial hemp is used in building supplies, the plants absorb carbon dioxide — so growing and processing hemp can help reduce overall greenhouse gases.
This intersection of environmental benefits prompts a vital question: what will it take to make sustainable, hemp-based building materials the standard rather than the exception?
