CarbonBuilt’s technology, developed by researchers at UCLA, is said to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by more than 50 percent, by taking CO2 emissions directly from coal-fired power plants and other industrial facilities and infusing them into a new kind of concrete. “All those emissions that you may have put out, you essentially lock them back up in the production of limestone,” said Gaurav Sant, one of the UCLA researchers who devised the technology.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A new blueprint by USC researchers identifies four places best suited to plant shade trees across Los Angeles Eastside to bring cooling relief to thousands of people at risk for heat waves and air pollution in a warming global climate, the university announced today.
In some scenarios, the tree canopy could be doubled across much of El Sereno, Ramona Gardens and parts of Lincoln Heights near USC s Health Sciences Campus, the researchers report. The area is one of the most tree-poor urban landscapes in the city.
Better still, the scientific tools that the USC researchers used have wider application to guide tree-planting efforts in other communities across L.A., according to the university.
