“Cement is the source of about 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to think tank Chatham House.”
“As a material that creates the majority of the world’s bridges, roads, dams, and construction, concrete releases an extreme amount CO2 each year. It’s the highest consumed product on earth besides water. Until the overall emissions are cut worldwide, the environment will continue to be polluted with over 4 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually due to this industry.”
