They are saying it absorbs more CO2 than your standard concrete wall. Surely any step in the right direction is a good one?

Never ONCE has anybody in policy ever suggested that climate change could be even effected or sustainable design could be achieved by artificially growing plants ON A BUILDING. But it's really ALL you see in architecture. I suggest we look at where this building gets it's power and the energy footprint of these materials.

But it’s really ALL you see in architecture. I suggest we look at where this building gets it’s power and the energy footprint of these materials.

They're generally things you want to remove from your home, not cultivate them. Fungi can be harmful to human health. They're generally things you want to remove from your home, not cultivate them.
