@schoolofnatura1 Thanks! Your house sounds wonderful. I'd like to learn more. Do you have any data about temperatures?

My traditional Yorkshire stone house with 500mm thick walls retrofitted with double glazing worked for me

Todmorden it’s where it’s at

…now, let’s remember that buildings built prior to today in the U.K. WERE NOT DESIGNED TO BE COMFORTABLE, LET ALONE HEALTHY/SAFE DURING 40°C SUMMERS, and neither are the ones being built today as you read this. Our built environment is a terrifying omission in climate discourse.

Just helped self builders win planning approval for a sustainable strawbale house. We'll done #MidDevon council for upholding their commitment to be #CarbonNeutral by 2030

Scientists agree that atmospheric CO2 should be below 350ppm. But in March we passed 416ppm. Have you already considered building with straw? #Sustainability #CarbonCapture #ClimateEmergency #FaceTheClimateEmergency #Sustainable #Building #ClimateChange @GretaThunberg
