Synopsis

  • In this TED talk, Tom Schuler describes how an innovative technique for making concrete can dramatically reduce cement's carbon footprint and save an enormous amount of water. 
  • This new type of concrete could not only reduce the carbon footprint of cement manufacturing, but it could potentially transform it into a carbon sink, making the concrete carbon negative.
