Build healthy, energy saving homes using Industrial Hemp and Lime
Our company has built the first 3 permitted Hempcrete homes in USA and an office extension in Canada in 2010 with many more iHemp/Lime building projects coming in 2011/12
2.5 acres of IHemp will provide the insulation for an average size home and grows in 12-14 weeks.
Hempcrete walls are vapor permeable, locking in CO2 when in the field and continuing to sequester CO2 for years after the house is complete, thereby improving indoor air quality for residents.

Many people do not realize that repairing your mirror and frame is better for the environment than replacing them and also saves you time and money. Most mirrors have toxic chemicals that make up the mirroring process. These include silver nitrate used for the reflective surface and red lead protective coatings with a painted seal coat used on the backing. While on the wall, these substances are contained and not harmful. Breaking up mirrors and disposing of them into landfills and the oceans releases these toxic substances.
An easily applied “Do-It-Yourself” product called MirrEdge® can conceal unsightly black edges. In only minutes an ordinary plain or deteriorated mirror can be transformed into one that is aesthetically appealing as well as environmentally friendly.
