The Prototype "Green Manufacture System", a massive 3D printer, was too big for the garage at Green Campus Ellanore (apparently in China they measure dimensions zyx and not xyz...) so we have built a temporary structure to house the printer in which we will print our first Green Camp System structures to house the printer untill we prove the concept and build an industrial version of the system that can print a panel in 2 hours instead of 2 days, as per this prototype system. A big thanks to Max and Stephen for helping out.
In this little vid there are clips of processing our own filament from our biomaterials.
Look out for the first test prints coming soon!

Here I tell the story of the people and processes that won the final debate of the 200th aniversary of The Oxford Union on the motion: This House Would Go Vegan. The effort was intended to shine a light on the arguments of Dr. Sailesh Rao and Gerard Wedderburn-Bisshop that insist we must include the Carbon opportunity Cost of deforestation, the carbon that can not be sequestered by forests that are cut down, in the IPCC and therefore national carbon accounting conventions. Including COC in Carbon accounting conventions shows that livestock is responsible for 87% of Global Temperature Change Potential and focusing on fossil fuels is actually speeding up climate change. The event allowed us to meet researchers at Oxford who argue for and against the position and yet we continue our work to find written arguments against the position which was won on the day. We are very Grateful to The Oxford Union for supporting this event and allowing us to use it to shine a light into this all important place. The story follows:
