This is how we need to build houses and their gardens in lebanon one day!

What if we had a new design for low=cost mass produced homes in Lebanon? Our country has availble lands outside of Beirut, and we could use smaller homes and larger gardens.

This low-cost Blooming Bamboo home was built to withstand floods in vietnam, and it's affordable to low income residents. We have agreat weather in Lebanon, 300 sunny days a year, mild temperatures except in the mountain, maybe we can invite such firms to design a low-cost Lebanese home with local materials.

This architect, and Nader Khalili from California, make adobe houses the logical choice, for the sake of nature and our budget.

Will industrial hemp help Lebanon have an industrial renaissance?

In the west "hemp is taboo", but the scientific fact is that it's a valuable industrial raw material. Lebanon on the other hand is not obliged to have the same taboo.

Industrial hemp, which is impossible to get high off of, is a valuable industrial raw material, for construction and producing paper. Producing paper from trees is protected by an powerful industrial lobby, but it is also environmentally non-sensical. Lebanon doesn't need to be stuck in the same flawed thinking as the west. We're looking for ways to soar, reach our potential and make up for the past delays. Maybe growing hemp should be part of that. This information is detailed in the first part of the video by Blogtopus:  WHEN WE GROW, This is what we can do
