Grass block pavers, also known as turf block pavers or grow-through pavers, are made of concrete or recycled plastic with open cells to allow grass to grow through them. They’re a porous, eco-friendly option for driveways and parking areas. Here's everything you need to know:
Learn how CO2 absorbing cement tiles help reduce emissions while offering bold design and lasting durability. A perfect blend of sustainability and style.
Startup Twelve broke ground on a commercial-scale facility in Washington state, which it says will be the first in the country to make sustainable aviation fuel from CO2.
An efficient new process can convert carbon dioxide into formate, a material that can be used like hydrogen or methanol to power a fuel cell and generate electricity.
The Founder and Convener of the Green Republic Project, Mr Nana Yaw Osei-Darkwa, has called on the Ministry of Roads and Highways to develop a policy that will make it obligatory for road contractors to plant trees along the roads they construct.
Trees get hardly any energy or materials from nutrients in the ground. They eat carbon from the air and use sunlight to power up their almighty water pumps. Think how stupid those last folk on Easter Island must have felt, killing that which kept them alive. HA, SO IT GOES.
Trees didn’t exist for the first 90 percent of Earth’s history and before that, Earth was home to fungi that grew 26 feet tall. And adding one tree to an open pasture can increase its bird biodiversity from almost zero species to as high as 80
Heartbroken that one of my mates cut a lovely tree down in his garden just so he could have less shade – ironically he is a bird spotter. Life gets me down sometimes, trees bring me back.
Grass pavers can also be an excellent way of capturing CO2.
Carbon can also be captured and stored in concrete.
There’s also this company with paver blocks that actively absorb carbon from the air.

This company has successfully developed concrete tiles that capture and sequester CO2 from the atmosphere.
Captured CO2 can also be turned into textiles, which is another excellent idea for addressing the fashion industry’s carbon footprint.
Check out these two companies that recently unveiled carbon-capturing t-shirts at the London Fashion Week.

Turning CO2 into fuel and other useful products can provide a lasting solution to global warming and climate change crisis.
We can create net zero-carbon roads worldwide by planting trees along all highways and streets.
How about taking roads underground and turning the space they occupy into green parks?

I bet they are slagging us right off, and rightly so.
