Gray and durable, concrete has been a literal building block in our homes, bridges, sidewalks and apartments for years. Unfortunately, the process involved in creating this critical building element contributes to our environmental crisis by releasing immense amounts of carbon dioxide into the air. Climate change and our elevated sense of doing what’s right for the environment have led us to find alternative materials to reduce our reliance on concrete. The one you choose will depend on your building needs and goals for going green.
