The following is a summary of this Express UK article: 

Germany’s Finance Minister Markus Söder has called for refugees be sent home over the next three years, saying that Germany does not want a multicultural society and it is impossible to integrate people from such different cultural backgrounds.

He said, “Even with the best intentions in the world, it will not work to integrate successfully that many people with a completely different cultural background,” adding that many asylum seekers pose a security threat.

He also said that many parts of Iraq and Afghanistan are currently recognized as safe, and mentioned that the war in Syria will end sometime soon, also saying “According to legislation, people have to return home when the reason for fleeing is no longer valid.”

Earlier this year he criticized Angela Merkel for allowing so many refugees to enter Germany, saying “It is a big mistake to open the borders without any checks.”  Over one million people have arrived in Germany over the past year.

Hempcrete is a building material which is similar to concrete made out of hemp stalks and lime, however it is much stronger, lighter, more versatile, and it is environmentally friendly.

Following are points from this Collective Evolution article: 

— Hempcrete can be used for wall insulation, floors, walls, roofing and more.  It is very strong, lightweight, fire-proof, rot-proof, and water-proof as long as it is above ground.

— Hempcrete is made from shredded stems of hemp plants and mixed with lime in a manner similar to cement.

— Solid hempcrete walls can be used rather than traditional walls filled with insulation.  The material is breathable and it absorbs moisture from the outside which it releases again once the air is drier.

— The lime and cellulose mixture of Hempcrete slowly petrifies over time, continually becoming stronger, theoretically lasting for thousands of years.

— Hemp is an excellent sustainable building material due to it growing to maturity in 14 weeks.  It also requires no fertilizer, weed killer, or pesticides to grow.

— Hemps seeds are also a very nutritious “super food” rich in vitamins and nutrients.

— Hempcrete has a “negative carbon footprint” due to hemp plants absorbing CO2 as they grow, but despite this fact, the political establishment which claims to think that global warming is a big problem is not embracing and espousing hempcrete technology for widespread utilization.  This is because either they are exaggerating claims about climate change or because they are concerned with keeping their systems in society the way that they have them.
