Millions of tons of sargassum wash up on beaches across North America every year. Exposure can lead to breathing problems, and it costs millions to clean it up. Now, one Mexican entrepreneur is building houses out of bricks made from the invasive species.

Makes a lot of sense to capture carbon like this in products people actually pay you money for, as opposed to any solution that just burns money to capture carbon.
Especially true for building materials that take up such a large share of carbon produced. That’s why stuff like cross laminated timber or hempcrete make a lot of sense to me.
This is cool and resourceful but it’s not a solution for the sargassum problem
Ooo, I wonder if we could do something like this with red tide plankton
