A short YouTube monologue by Adi Reza describing a startup that develops sustainable building materials made by binding agricultural waste with mushroom mycelium. He argues this approach reduces carbon emissions, uses low-energy production, and advocates shifting from destructive mining-based material sourcing to harvesting renewable biomass, linking the idea to ancestral practices of living in harmony with nature.

I have a startup making new sustainable material made from fungi. So it basically is agricultural waste that it binds together with mushroomycellia. So mushroom mycellia can be used as a natural adhesive. So it enable us to make more sustainable and of course less carbon emission because it's not requiring high amount of energy to produce it. And of course this we can change from mining to harvesting because right now currently mostly.
Building material made from coal collecting from mining activity so we can try to move into harvesting. The urban nature concept is living harmony with.
Nature. So in the past.
Actually our ancestors living harmony with nature, they are trying to build their houses by collecting the materials from agricultural waste, their forestry and they're so wisely collecting this material. But today we are totally different building.
Our materials, we are doing destructive mining. So when we start a beautiful building in the city, in the other parts, farmers lost their productive land, their loss the only source of their water. And yeah, I think.
We should be. It should be agriculture and infrastructure should be coherent.
