How Deconstruction Helps Colorado Mitigate Climate Change
According to the EPA, the way we produce, transport, and dispose of materials and goods — including building materials — makes up 40% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that contribute to global warming. These emissions come from the energy, land, and water used to produce, transport, use, and discard of materials and goods. It’s a system that puts our limited natural resources on a one-way track from being extracted from the earth to trashed in a dump, all while generating emissions that warm the planet and contribute to climate destabilization.
