Going Green 
Here are some alternative and eco-friendly building materials which can replace concrete and steel. These sustainable materials come from sources you would never have thought such as seaweed, mushrooms and even coffee. They allow designers and engineers to construct green buildings with a low carbon footprint.

Which is your favourite material?
material favoritku: seaweed! because it is edible 😋
Its interesting how as soon as a "cheap" eco material is discovered it is turned into a luxury product as companies capitalize on consumers desire to be more ecofriendly.
Very cool video!!! I did an eco-friendly renovation before and looking forward to my next project being an 100% eco-friendly built home
Love love love!!!❤

I'm actually so interested in all of these, especially mushroom, bamboo potential, hempcrete, cob and green algae
Nice informative video, well done. Cork was my favorite material.
I had no clue cork, coffee husks, and mushrooms could be used for building! the only part I'm conflicted with is the algae power, I would prefer would be is to start implementing molten salt reactors using thorium(233)-uranium(233) cycles and implement more resources into fusion energy, as both produce obscene amounts of power and are a much more sustainable source than fossil fuel plants and produce less waste than traditional Uranium reactors, there's even reactors being made that can recycle spent nuclear waste from other reactors
This was so eye-opening! I learned so much about eco-friendly alternatives to traditional building materials.
I think the green algae building would be practical.

No bamboo?

The narrator states that over 6.3 Trillion tons of paper is thrown away each year.
However, our research has shown that total paper usage in the UK is 12.5 Million tons.
There seems to be an error in your interesting video.

I'm working on a sustainable architecture unit with my 10th graders and this video provides purposeful suggestions.
Thanks for the effort to research
