Hi reader,

Theres been a lot going on behind the scenes in the hemp building industry and its our pleasure to bring it to the public!

Firs up a warn welcome to our newest contributing member Murray Industrial Hemp. We are honoured that MIH have chosen to support all HBD do with a sponsor listing which has also already done wonders for their online narrative. Click here or Google MIH hemp (or similar) to learn more.

Want hands on Experience? Hemping Hands, by Southern Hemp, on now near Melbourne.

Winton talks tracing Carbon. HBD Joins iHemp NSW. Hempwood at NSW Parliament with iHemp NSW thanks to WWF. And more...

We are still looking to turn recorded conversations into Hempcrete in Australia episodes. This takes hours of tech savvy editing, polishing, producing and then releasing. To produce and release a series of 4 interviews like this could be $10,000+. To get the work done I’m crowdfunding just $1,000. Just enough to cover a week’s rent so I can dedicate time to editing and bringing these episodes to life, so we can all learn from others.
If you’ve found value in the stories and resources I’ve been putting out, please consider pitching in. Small contributions of $10 help, but $200 from a few folks would get us there. And it only takes a few clicks to get started.

Speaking of videos - on the HBD YouTube channel there are probably a few videos you are yet to digest so head there for a binge.

Thanks so much to all our subscriber members (thats you!) who take a moment to open our emails and click through to a few articles. Your involvement really helps us continue our work.
