Fantastic! I'll have to look into this more. It's definitely needed in the US.

Hopefully there is more to come on this. It has a lot of potential as the world changes.

This is very interesting. There are questions. Do all plants have this gene already or is it just the poplar? If you introduce it to plants that don't have it, hat does that change about the plant? Should we introduce this gene into plants that don't have it or it isn't activated?

I love this! The way that we interact financially is absolutely the lynch pin to a thriving local community. Let's do this!

Go Ireland! While Europe is taking climate change seriously the US is doubling down on putting our fingers in our ears and saying, "la la la, I can't hear you".

I couldn't agree more. I own a construction company focused on regenerative design, permaculture and natural building. I used to work in mainstream construction and it made me sick to see the amount of "waste" that was produced. There is no excuse for this.

And package in single use plastic as an added insult.

Fantastic! This could probably be done with hempcrete, too.
