To behave or not to behave… rethinking the way we inhabit (the short list)

It is environmentally friendly, easy to use and long lasting. How does hemp become a real building material?

Hemp produces 250 times more fiber than cotton, suppresses weeds, requires no pesticides and enriches soil with nitrogen. Hemp for a whole house can be grown on just a few acres of land in just a few months. This quick turnaround makes it a very affordable sustainable material if grown and used locally.

Let’s clear up any confusion-- this highly renewable resource, hemp, is not marijuana or pot. You cannot get high using hemp products.

the good, the bad, the fatal.

Why would we want to preserve buildings? Well, frankly it’s a good thing; good for you, your community, your pocketbook, our nation and our environment.

Whether it’s a house, barn, theater, notable fishing site, garden, sculpture or commercial building, we quite literally shape the future of our communities by protecting the past. You will ensure a sense of place with historical character and charm when you tackle a preservation project.

If every building has its own story to tell….what would yours say? Would you save the structure if you could? Would it have historic integrity? What are the qualities of a certified historic structure? What are the benefits of historic preservation?

We are living in amazing times! In this modern day Renaissance, we are in the process of shaping the future of human civilization.

Live with intention.
