So you're looking at the likes of Stipa gigantea, Miscanthus, there's several different Miscanthus and they're fantastic as well.
J
20:27John JonesHOST
So you have Stipa gigantea, I have a few in the garden there.
J
20:34John JonesHOST
Really, in terms of height, they're quite tall.
J
20:48John JonesHOST
So they're quite feathery, really hardy, will grow pretty much anywhere.
J
20:53John JonesHOST
And they're a brilliant grass to have in the garden.
J
20:55John JonesHOST
Miscanthuses as well.
J
20:56John JonesHOST

26:42Mike WestphalHOST
because it sounds amazing i mean the pictures i see are absolutely stunning but the pink moly grass is typically what you see so those are my three
D
26:48Daniel Van DykeHOST
so if i had to go with three a couple i've already mentioned um I'm going to cheat and say I'll say Miscanthus Adagio slash Morning Light.
D
26:56Daniel Van DykeHOST
That's a good one.
D
26:58Daniel Van DykeHOST
They're similar.
D
27:33Daniel Van DykeHOST
So it's not super, super small, not like Carex.
D
27:35Daniel Van DykeHOST
Carex would definitely fit a different bill.
D
27:37Daniel Van DykeHOST
But those Hamlin grasses are a cool dwarf grass that will still give you that nice aesthetic, but stay a little bit more compact if you don't have as much room to plant like a Miscanthus or something like
M
27:47Mike WestphalHOST
that.

So if you think about what goes into cement and the carbon emissions that that emits, if you can find a product that reduces that carbon emissions profile and still has equal to or better performance parameters of what binding agents is in cement, then you're basically taking a lower cost or cost equal alternative, which is not as harmful to the planet, or isn't harmful to the planet, than the inserts of what goes into cement.

With Genera, as an example, none of our fund companies, fund two companies, they take miscanthus grass, they bring the Miscanthus grass through a pulping facility and create molded fiber food packaging, right? So if you look at the alternative to that, it's polystyrene, it's food packaging derived from oil and gas.
D
30:20Dave TooheyGUEST
If that product and that product does cost equal to or lower than a fossil fuel derived product, which has a lower emissions profile.
D
30:34Dave TooheyGUEST
You can see that why do we need to manufacture food packaging from oil and gas derived products if the world has a molded fiber alternative to do it.

We just went to all these farmers and we're like, what is this? Can you help us figure out what this is and all this? And we thought it was Miscanthus for the long time, but I'm being real.

One of my high school buddies listens to our podcast regularly, and he has not changed one bit since that time.
K

Now, I know that there's some non-natives that are very good options.
D
61:36Don HigginsHOST
For instance, Miscanthus.
D

There's no native plant that can compare to Miscanthus for screening.
D
61:41Don HigginsHOST
But I prefer natives when possible.
D
61:44Don HigginsHOST
