Sustainable blocks to build your own house
18th June 2021
This Reuters clip looks at how a German company has started to produce environmentally-friendly blocks to allow for building projects across the world.
The blocks are recyclable, reusable and mobile, which should allow for people to build and rebuild their homes in line with their changing needs and have less of an environmental impact. The company has already built 100 houses in Namibia with these blocks.
