Versatility of Hive Earth
Rammed earth building materials are more versatile contrary
to what people think. Often many people use rammed earth to fit out their
entire homes. Apart from using rammed earth to make a home it can also be used
to makes a whole kitchen unit, bath tubs, plant vases ect.
Check out some pictures of the versatilities of rammed
earth in the home.

Sustainability & Smart growth in Hive communities
Sustainability, or sustainable development, is the
ability to achieve continuing economic prosperity while protecting the natural
systems of the planet and providing a high quality of life for its people. Smart
growth is a new concept being touted as a new approach that can resolve
problems that have long been endemic to urban growth and development in Africa.
Some of the problems are urban sprawl, loss of open space and farmland, growing
traffic congestion, absence of a sense of place, poor and crowded schools, air
pollution, unemployment, etc. Smart growth is development that serves the
economy, the community, and the environment by supporting healthy communities
while creating economic development and jobs
Buildings influence our quality of life, the
deployment of infrastructures and transport networks. Bad land management
practices often lead to inefficient use of land, which generates higher energy
consumption and increased travel time. This can also result in a loss of
productivity, the discharge of polluted run-off water into surface water
storage and wastewater treatment networks, the loss of farmland, the
fragmentation of habitats and financial pressure for local authorities.
A comprehensive planning and policy approach that
identifies smart locations for development design of mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods,
and green building strategies will have the broadest impact on creating
economically viable and sustainable development patterns in our country. Sustainable
development requires that we see the world as a system- a system that connects
space, time, and all elements of communities (environment, economy and
society). It advocates a development pattern that economic growth and social
advancement should be within the carrying capacity of the planet, so that the
future generations will enjoy no less earth’s provision than the current one.
Hive believes in these five dimensions of sustainable
development in Ghana.
1. Needs of the future must not be sacrificed to the
demands of the present.
2. Humanity’s economic future is linked to the
integrity of natural systems.
3. The present world system is not sustainable because
it is not meeting the needs of many, especially the poor.
4. Protecting the environment is impossible unless we
improve the economic prospects of the earth’s poorest peoples.
5. We must act to preserve as many options as possible
for future generations since they have the right to determine their own needs
for themselves.
