Cement and Carbon Dioxide

Good post about the problem of cement production and associated carbon dioxide emissions, from the Building Minnesota blog. You can read the New York Times article that inspired it here.

I’m not proposing anything here, just sharing the information. It’s amazing just how many processes and products we have to think about when it comes to global warming. I never would have guessed that cement production alone would account for a whopping 5% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.
