The Hemp Building Directory Story
By: Kirstie Wulf and Jeremy Thomas
Our story – the Hemp Building Directory of Australia
Creating the Hemp Building Directory has been a labour of love, driven by a passion for sustainability and a commitment to advancing the use of hemp in construction. I, Jeremy Thomas, started building this website in February 2023 and a significant amount of time and effort has gone into making it a valuable resource for the hemp building and wider building community. Kirstie Wulf is an important part of this project. Together we aim to sequester carbon and lock it into structures that need little to no thermal control from external inputs. And we’d love your help…
I can’t fix everything but I can try make some things more sustainable…
