Blistering heat wave hits Capital Region. Scorching weather here. Record-smashing temperatures in the Northwest.

A company called Interface makes sustainable carpeting with recycled plastics and energy-efficient manufacturing. But Interface goes a further step by embedding plant-based material in its products. The result: Each 10’ x 20’ roll of carpeting stores 16 pounds of heat-trapping CO2, achieving negative emissions. Similar carbontech approaches are being developed for products like cement and building materials, though aren’t yet ready for widespread use.
