Constructions and new developments are one of the main contributors of greenhouse effects. Authorities such as the recently launched Green Building Index Malaysia (GBI Malaysia) have started to pressure contractors and developers be have a more sustainable development approach.
In Indonesia for instance, a company called EcoFaeBrick has achieved a significant breakthrough offering bricks that are made of cattle waste (as in cow poo). They claimed that the bricks are 20% lighter compared to the clay brick but 20% stronger in terms of compressive strength. That’s a great way to utilize waste as methane gas from from cattle waste is also major contributor of green house effects.
I can only see more demands for such products in the future so let us not waste time and start out own “Poo” bricks. The process of making these bricks can even help you to lose appetite which means you don’t even need to use any safe appetite suppressants.
