We may finally be getting\u00a0to a place where we can internalize the costs of carbon in our planning, and this should\u00a0change our understanding of our symbiosis with\u00a0the air we\u00a0breathe and the water we drink (and flush). Toxic emissions\u00a0just don’t go away…<\/p>\n

Per the included article, the\u00a0current costs established by the EPA and supported by a\u00a0Federal Court ruling\u00a0are\u00a0$36 per ton of carbon emitted. To\u00a0put this in perspective for the construction\u00a0industry, creating\u00a0one ton of Portland cement produces about one ton of carbon emissions. For every ton of cement, add in about $40\u00a0to begin to deal with\u00a0the health burdens created by CO2 emissions…and plan accordingly. When we’re talking about a large building with\u00a0literally tons of cement, this would certainly\u00a0encourage me to see where I can\u00a0intelligently\u00a0reduce the\u00a0materials that\u00a0carry\u00a0high emissions levels.<\/p>\n

Breathe easy, it’s getting better,<\/p>\n
