Appreciation post: I thought the whole 'green concrete' thing was just hype until I saw the specs on a project in Denver last month.
The mix design cut embodied carbon by 40% compared to standard stuff, which convinced me it's a real tool we should be pushing for in local codes, so has anyone else gotten a city or builder to actually specify it?

Didn't my buddy's firm get a green concrete spec passed in Austin last year?

Mark's buddy must have some serious pull at city hall. Green concrete sounds fancy but I bet it costs twice as much as the regular stuff. My shop's parking lot could use a repave but I'm not paying extra for concrete that tries to save the planet. Maybe it's just me but I'd rather put that money into new tools.
