John Harrison is The People’s Champ of the cement industry, or at
least the people’s choice. He was recently given that title on The New Inventors, a prime time call-in/log-on-to-vote TV show in his native Australia. Harrison and his firm, TecEco, have developed several cement technologies that have the power to effectively and economically transform city streets—and the built environment around them—into carbon “sinks”, rather than sources. |
