Suggestions for future topic

Aircrete and styrofoam recycling.
I live in Colorado City, I was born here and once again live here. I lived the majority of my adult life in SLC. So I love that about your show. I’ve realized that one of the most effective future materials for creating smaller buildings might be shredded/recycled styrofoam mixed with Aircrete. Can you tell us more about this? You can email me any interest about my perspective about it @ batemanjb@gmail.com
