Concrete is a good example of a material that most of us encounter every day, but its carbon footprint may not be obvious. What other everyday materials might have a large carbon footprint? How can you find out more?
Other materials that can have large carbon footprints include cloth due to fast fashion trends, glass, plastic and paper; you can always find out more through digging for information with various sources.
In knowing the differences, I am able to ensure what I purchase will be used before it goes bad thereby spending less and making more use out of what's around.
