The fact that you just have a functionally infinite supply of organic plant matter washing up on the beaches means when you find good uses for it, running out would mean you have mostly solved the problem. Bless this man. Removing invasive species and helping fix the problems humanity has caused itself while also directly helping others is something I want to do. Lonicera maackii, also known as bush honeysuckle, is the most invasive plant where I live. This makes me wonder if I could mulch the plants and do something with it.

The increase in Sargassum seaweed maybe a good thing. and turning them into bricks might be even better. The increase might be from the increase in CO2, and some algae makes Calcium carbonate.

That means it is helping reduce atmospheric CO2 and it stores it in a far more permanent form than trees. making it into bricks might pull it away from being put back into the environment.

I lived for a while in Mexico and after seeing people taking stuff that could be considered garbage (tin cans, wire, nur shells from walnuts etc, paint , thread, inner tubes and so on) and seeing the people make beautiful items to sell so they could support their families. The creativity, the imagination, making something out of practically nothing, I admire so much. By the way, one item I saw , fell in love with , bought and used and admitted for many years were some little Christmas ornaments made from nut shells with little tiny scenes inside of the nuts. One was a wedding, another was a bullfight and audience. Beautiful little items. Wire was made into tiny hinges for the doors cut into the side of the nuts so you could open them to see the tiny scene inside the nut. A cut piece of tin can made the latch to hold the doors shut. One nut was weird shaped and with imagination they turned it into a little bird. A rooster actually. Inner tube was cut to make the rooster's comb. The inside scene was a wedding. The people were made of wire, string and construction paper. The inside of the nut was painted . The bridesmaid and groomsman were each on a door . With the doors shut it was a rooster and the doors are its wings. A piece of another nut was glued to the bottom of the rooster so it would stand on a flat surface. It is amazing that they can turn something like tin cans and nuts into a thing of beauty. I used to live near a little store that had all kinds beautiful and useful things all made from tin cans and a bit of paint.

It always bodes well with me that the person making homes lives in one he built out of materials he built. I mean that as in, he trusts his own materials enough to use it himself. I like that.

That what we need more in Mexico. People that believe in themselves and their community. This is a lesson to all entrepreneurs of the world. You can thrive, do well and make your community better. And guess what be HAPPY. Felicidades compatriota. Si requieres un invercionista aqui estoy!

Congratulations Omar. It is sad to see people like you leave our country but I understand fully. I am happy for you. Stay strong.

God bless this dude for moving up in the world and in his own country! Glad he is helping our Earth to benefit by helping others. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽😁

This is truly amazing. One thing I wonder though; is there an easier, more efficient way to capture the sargassum that washes ashore than using pitchforks and a lot of physical labor? I'm sure somebody could invent some kind of collector that spits out the sand but collects the sargassum. Similar to how a lawn mower works with the grass hopper or something. Maybe have some kind of attachment to a 4-wheeler? At any rate, this is awesome and I love hearing about how people turn waste into something useful and/or environmentally friendly.

This man is what intelligence, hard work and humanity can produce... I did this, and you can too he says! We should see this and be inspired!

Great story! He is a blessing to his community, and I hope his project can be replicated worldwide. God Bless him

Truly a Mexican the hardest working people with a heart

This is brilliant! This guy gets the saying - when life throws you lemons make lemonade dammit! Makes you wonder how many other issues we can solve with a similar mindset

40% seaweed and 60% dirt is more dirt bricks than seaweed; that being said, seems a good recycle opportunity. I'd worry something with an organic compound might not be completely water-resistant, but if it can stand up to corrosion as good as regular bricks then hey, sounds good to me!

Well I mean it's seaweed, you'd think it's somewhat water resistant

The sargassum is dried first. It's essentially cob or adobe bricks.

This is how you make adobe. you get straw oil and clay and mix it. This is how the great wall is made. Dirt and grass and compress it. The organic compound helps it make it stronger. I went an check, and this seaweed has calcium carbonate. so it has quite a bit non-organics in them.

Nothing will ever be 100% of one material. 40% is actually a large number that he incorporates

Yeah, he's making mud bricks with some decomposed seaweed in them. But I also wonder exactly what testing has been done. A lot of fluff in the video, but his only evidence of it being good is that one small shed he built hasn't fallen down yet in 4 years. Which is a very short timescale and a sample size of 1 in limtied conditions.

What a great man he saw something others didn't and changed lives.

what an admirable man and an amazing business model. it ticks all the boxes of what we should do as humans: innovate, clean, build, give back and make lives better. what a wonderful example for all of us. bravo sir!

This is actually amazing, I lived close to beaches for long and many ways were found to recycle, get rid off or even control zargazo but none of them were long lasting or effective to be used forever. Seeing this makes me really happy

There are two types of people in this world! One who destroys and the other who restores, and people like Omar who is not only restoring our environment but changing many peoples life. He is an absulute climate hero. We would love to add this video to one of our playlist to inspire more people ~Team Planet cents

This is what I was thinking would make more sense. The seaweed is very high in nutrients. It would make an excellent compost. Bricks, not so much. A person making 500 bricks that haven't been tested in terms of reliability, is nothing compared to enriching the soil to grow more food, or help fight desertification.

This is a happy story. It was inspiring. I do hope the health problems of sargassum were eradicated before the bricks were used. He seems healthy and he has handled a lot of it. I want all of the families to be happy and safe ❤ Many blessings to all!

I live on the beach with sargasso everyday all day. No health problems. Yes, sometimes it smells pretty bad when the sea breeze ceases for a while, but all, pets, plants & people are fine.

Brilliant and positive use of resources!

This is really a great man. He is truly an inspiration to everyone

Incredible story and a truly great example of rethinking a problem into an opportunity!
