New @NRDC⁩ report on building insulation asserts cork is healthiest (yep) with fiberglass in 2nd place (a bit surprising) and spray foam most dangerous to human health (totally unsurprising). ⁦@the_iPHA⁩ ⁦@naphnetwork⁩ ⁦⁦@phplusmag⁩ https://t.co/6utVeaJ6pq

@MontePaulsen @NRDC @the_iPHA @naphnetwork @phplusmag And too bad wool (and mushroom) insulation is not part of the list 🧐 I bet wool insulation would have scored really high!

@BCFerries Yes, that’s why I find it frustrating to see people still idling their vehicles in line-ups! Perhaps the traffic attendants could remind them?

[Hajo Meijer @ecodesignbc]

So many people still idling at the ferry terminal for their air conditioning 👿 #ironic #selfish
