📌 Quote from the Episode:
📣 “Typically, about 40 percent of the carbon emissions in the world can be traced back to buildings, whether that's the construction of those buildings or the ongoing maintenance of those buildings. And so, to get that 40 percent of carbon emissions down to zero can be a big challenge.” – Mike Loth
