I thought about this a few years ago, as a way to recycle building materials. But I decided it was far too labor intensive than just imploding it with high explosives. Turned out they’re doing it now. 🤷🤷 https://youtube.com/shorts/J75MV6fZP8Q?feature=share
Quote: “”The wealthiest tenth of U.S. households are the source of 40 percent of national greenhouse gas emissions, according to research published in the journal PLOS Climate.”” Quote: “”The wealthiest 1 percent of households were responsible for between 15 percent and 17 percent of emissions.”” https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4157562-us-climate-emissions-attributed-richest-households-study/ I started thinking about this and guessed that some
