Each day consumers grow more concerned about our environment and actively seek ways to minimize their environmental footprint, often making purchase decisions on how their actions will affect our environment, both locally and abroad.
The main ingredients of concrete are two of the most readily-available materials in any region of the planet. While the extraction and processing of these and other ingredients do require the consumption of energy, the total embodied energy required to do so, as well as the carbon dioxide created is less than other building materials. And as concrete is recyclable, it will never end up in a landfill. Even the completed excavation site can be repurposed into wonderful landscapes, look at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam or Butchart Gardens in Victoria.
