Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

"cooling within a decade"...
with carbon storage in construction products from fast growing plants. Seems like a nobrainer to me, am I crazy?
LET'S DO THIS.
You can't? Ask.

@JurajMikurcik @schoolofnatura1 @the_woodlouse @StrawBaleUK If you use just 10% of 30% (returning the other 70% to the field for good carbon cycle) you can make 3,3 million m2 of EcoCocon straw panels annually (from just 3% overall straw availability). Where are the architects? @Ecococon

[Bjørn Kierulf @createrra]

Not sure why anybody is surprised - we founded Createrra in 2004 with exactly this in mind.

Seems we've made it.🙌 EcoCocon has been featured in Financial Times.

A well written introduction to our system, as well as straw's massive potential as an untapped, renewable and widely available resource.🌱

@JurajMikurcik @holz_bau I had a case in a Swedish @EcoCocon building, modern but pivoted. Supposed to have fairly good insulation values and narrow frames. Probably this or similar https://t.co/q3tfwkn8Bv

@Rainmaker1973 We should build a new presidential office in the shape of a giant upside down pyramid!

Sure, they’ve built normal pyramids before, but a giant upside down pyramid? That takes advanced technology.

@JurajMikurcik I would say clever design, not so much luck…! Higher costs should hopefully lead to more reasonable designs #challenge #architects

Regular open days are a great way to connect clients, builders and architects interested in sustainable building #EcoCocon #straw #Passivhaus #tasty

Today we have a sneak peek of something very special brewing over in Sweden.👌 Perhaps you’ve heard of the popular British TV show Grand Designs?

Well, this straw beauty will be the main star of an episode of the Swedish version of the show.🌱

Thought I would check out ChatGPT to see how well versed it is in straw bale building. Disappointed at first, but my mistake asking the wrong question!😂

@BurchertMichael @Ecococon is trying hard: 39000m2 wall surface produced so far, adding >10000m2 annually with ambitious plans for more. No reason not to build with straw: short delivery times to all european countries.

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

This morning, @CBSMornings ran a story on gas stoves to 2.5 million viewers.

Did they mention gas stoves increase the risk of asthma? No.

Did they question a gas industry rep who claimed gas is "clean and safe"? No.

Instead they spread fossil fuel industry lies.

The ruling is in.⚖️CO2 was found guilty of crimes against climate. 3 815 755 kg of CO2 are now serving a life sentence, imprisoned in the walls of EcoCocon homes.

Straw captured the suspect, who was trying to escape into the atmosphere.

39,000 m2 of walls built and counting 💪
