😮Shocked to see the concrete industry overstating the impacts of thermal mass, durability, and carbonation in mitigating the #carbon emissions of concrete: Paper written by @AMoncaster & funded by @OpenUniversity & @UKRI_News here: https://t.co/aydLgztEha
Great news that Duncan Baker MP will be bringing a 10 minute rule bill before the House of Commons on 2nd February to start to regulate embodied carbon. Get writing to your MPs to support this.

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.
RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5
