And the construction sector puts out more emissions and waste than the animal ag industry.

True, it would be nice if we had enough caves for millions of people to live in unfortunately we need things like roads and buildings.

It would be nice if more focus was put on the sustainability and longevity of these projects unfortunately most people don’t think about infrastructure until its too late.

The best way to capture and storage carbon is with wood. So why do they still build houses with concrete instead? And no, concrete is not that much cheaper, neither is it more flame resistant.

We don’t generally build houses of concrete in Canada. Almost entirely stick framed with lumber.
