How These Handmade Tiles Lock Up Air Pollution | World Wide Waste

A slacker...I'm entirely a slacker.

That's my first takeaway from watching these videos of young people doing amazing things to better their world and decrease the pollution and waste around them.

At 3:05, the creator states that, "this is the lowest carbon footprint way of making a tile," but I'm curious about that. I've come to understand that cement is a very carbon-intensive material, requiring large amounts of carbon dioxide to be released as the calcium carbonate raw material is heated to produce the calcium oxide for the cement. 

I love the grey/black/white color scheme of the tiles. I'd happily buy those tiles.
