Why is Dumb Donnie so mad at low carbon construction materials? Who knows? Maybe there’s a dead worm in his brain like the one in his nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services. Or maybe it’s because he thinks sea levels have only risen a quarter of an inch since Napoleon got banished to Elba. Or maybe it’s because the companies that are trying to lower the carbon emissions from steel and cement factories didn’t pay him big enough bribes the way the oil and gas industry do on a regular basis. America is for sale to the highest bidder and the profits are all flowing into the pockets of our own Dear Leader.

With IRA funding, EPA is creating a low-carbon construction materials ecolabel - so this rule is well-timed, telling companies making concrete, steel & other industrial materials they can depend on demand from the world’s largest customer. A big win for the #BuyClean community!

US GSA just announced $2B investments in federal buildings w low-carbon construction materials - once agains showing the power of public procurement to accelerate the transition to a decarbonized economy with US workers at the forefront. www.gsa.gov/about-us/new.... #BuyClean
