Three Girls For The Planet

Renewable buildings and materials

  • What people are doing to help creat more eco friendly housing:
  • #1. Matthew Barnett Howland, Dido Milne, and Oliver Wilton created a house out of cork blocks in Berkshire, England. Since 2014 this team has been developing a system that depends on mostly cork blocks.these houses are formed almost lego like structure.
  • #2. A group of builders used naterial materials like hemp, hemp was used in this proces as a alternative to traditional drywall. As time went on the interest of "hempcrete". This mixture is fireproof, mold-proof, and insect-proof.
  • #3. Some of the most eco-friendly house construction materials are recycling steel. Straw bales have really good insolating properties it could also contribute to cool down your house in the summer, it would help creat warmer tempatures
  • #4. Many construction projects could have a very big impact on are environment especially localy and global scale. The reason is because of all of the carbon dioxide emissions, the gass gets trapped in out atmosphere which is creating the greenhouse effect.
  • #5. Buildings are accountable for and average of 41% of the worlds energey use, even the two most common energy users dont even come close to the amout the buildings have.
  • #6. Some people have created alternative ways to live withought air condishening, for example you could use Photochromic glazes that when hit with alot of light turn transparent and when not it turnes opaque. so it keeps light out and cool, and heat up when needed.
