It is clear that reducing new greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels is critical to achieving global net-zero targets and capping global warming at 1.5°C. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that solutions must go beyond emissions reductions and begin to incorporate carbon dioxide removal (CDR) if we truly want to achieve these goals. Without CDR,…
Specifying suitable construction materials is key to developing infrastructure that is resilient to climate events. For both commercial builds, as well as home renovations, permeable solutions like Turfstone and grow-through concrete pavers represent a landscaping solution that is made to last and advantageous in a time of growing climate concern. This lies in their inherent…
