seems logical, The lumber industry will fight to the death to keep the whole pie.
cotton is meh.

It's ridiculous and I'd say there's plenty of ways for them all to prosper and take care of the planet at same time. But yeah they like monopoly.

Like this for example. Some people would rather have a log home. This hempcrete may suit other tastes. Bamboo is another amazing plant.

AND in a good climate region, it can produce two or three harvests per year! Bugs hate it, nothing eats it, weeds don't stand a chance as it naturally smothers/chokes out everything where it grows, and only pretty much needs sunlight and water! NOTHING lasts as long in salt water which is why shipping still uses only hemp rope exclusively, and then for a real shocker, check out the difference in hemp and wood for papermaking!

and it cleans clean cleans, nuclear waste heavy metals amongst a few things...
the plant of renown.

I love seeing the hempcrete house designs coming out and how amazing it is for fire and pest resistant material.
