    Did you know that the carbon footprint of 1 cubic meter of aluminum has a carbon footprint of almost 29,000 kgs of CO2? That's 11 time the weight of the material itself! The carbon footprint 1 m3 of MDF, on the other hand, is NEGATIVE 1,740 kgs of CO2...because all wood products are sequestering more naturally captured carbon than is released in their production and use. (Learn more about wood at www.ClimatePostiveNOW.com) This Construction Material Pyramid is an amazing resource for anyone concerned about the carbon footprint of building materials, and it's constantly being updated with new data. (Thanks so much, Ariel Steuer, ASID, NCIDQ) sharing this with me! https://lnkd.in/gSqG7vgE Materials matter...it's important to make informed choices. If you'll be at KBIS next week, visit us at booth SL7196...we'd love to chat!
