Concrete, which is energy and emissions intensive, took over the world around 200 years ago. Emily Majewski thinks it's time for its reign to end. Experimenting in her backyard in Mexico, she created a new, environmentally-friendly building material made from biochar called Cast Carbon.
In the show, we hear why Emily and her husband moved to a foreign country to raise their child, how she realized that popular alternative building materials like lime and adobe are not the future, and how she set out on a mission to discover a new material that mimics nature’s strongest bones and shells.
