A recent article posted on the Science Daily website gives us a brief overview of a new technology that will have a great and positive impact on climate change and global warming. This technology, which was developed by Rutgers' Richard E. Riman, uses water based reactions to create materials that would otherwise have to be created using ways that are harmful for the environment. Through this new technology, manufacturers can create a concrete replacement that holds carbon dioxide gas. This concrete also costs the same as regular concrete and it is also stronger and more durable. It is estimated that over 70 percent of the carbon footprint of concrete manufacturing can be reduced, which would result in over 500 billion gallons of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere every year.Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/02/170213130450.htm
