"Please support our mission to advocate for the adoption and improvement of building regulations for earthen construction in California. Verdant Structural Engineers is a signatory of this important petition in support of Earthen Construction. We were the lead engineers on a number of the IRC Appendixes referenced in the petition and we are helping lead the engineering efforts of permit acquisition of these green materials in California. Despite proven fire-resistant qualities and environmental benefits of earthen and bio-based construction, California has yet to adopt relevant International Residential Code Appendices, depriving Californians of a safe, sustainable, and fire-resistant building options that also help address climate change. We are appealing to Governor Newsom and members of the California State Senate and Assembly, to support this initiative which aligns with the State's expressed goals for fire resistance and mitigating climate change. Our petition is backed by leaders in architecture, engineering, construction, and education and we ask for you to join us. See the full petition in the link below. Thank you." - Verdant Structural Engineers Sign the petition here: https://chng.it/b97KFhtW8t
