Made of Air
Made of 90% atmospheric carbon, this radical material system is energy positive, customisable and beautiful. As more cities around the world demand lower carbon footprints from buildings, Made of Air can significantly reduce the CO2 footprint of buildings and help real estate developers, architects and cities achieve climate targets. Made of carbon from the environment, Made of Air removes more CO2 from the air than it emits, and is a versatile enough material that it can be made into cladding, furniture, or flooring. madeofair.com

SYLVA, NC (WLOS) The only man in more than 200 years to be bestowed as Beloved Man by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians will have a highway in Swain and Jackson counties dedicated in his honor.
The Tribal Council bestowed Dr. Jerry Wolfe the honorable title of Beloved Man in 2013. He was the first to hold such a prestigious honor since the tribe’s last Beloved Man, Little Turkey, died in 1801.
The N.C. Board of Transportation recently approved a resolution to honor Wolfe by dedicating a 4.2-mile stretch of US-441 between US-19 and US-74 as the “Beloved Man Dr. Jerry Wolfe Highway.”

Oregon magic mushroom therapist passes
Sheri Eckert, Measure 109 sponsor, psychedelic leader and psilocybin therapist, dies at 56.
Portland s psychedelic community was in shock over the weekend with the news that Sheri Eckert died.
Eckert, 56, was one of the two people behind Oregon s magic mushrooms measure Measure 109 which voters approved on Nov. 3. She died in her sleep unexpectedly on Thursday Dec. 17. Eckert and her husband Tom were the driving force and sponsors of Measure 109, which opens a two-year trial to legalize psilocybin, the psychoactive component found in certain mushrooms, for use in therapy for depression, PTSD and addiction.
Other cities have decriminalized psilocybin, but Oregon is first to permit its supervised use statewide. The drug can only be used with therapeutic supervision. Patients take a dose of psilocybin in a clinic and are guided through their journey of several hours by a therapist, of which the Eckerts were both leading lights.
