Buy non toxic natural insulation in Quebec
Here are some pages where you can learn the characteristics of different materials - which insulation is best in which application, What the R values are, if there are any additives, how to work with them, how they handle moisture etc.
For examaple - hemp building materials are resistant to moisture damage as it can store and release moisture, whereas cellulose insulation is more susceptible to damage from moisture. Always build your walls so they can dry properly and not trap moisture, but knowing their properties and choosing the right insulation for the right application is an added measure of home durability and resiliency.
This list of insulation types are all natural, but some can be a little dusty (like cellulose) so using a mask is still preferrable.
