@BigD It's also the worst for the environment. that industry is responsible for a shocking 7%-8% of global carbon emissions (to put that in context, the global aviation industry accounts for only 2.5% of CO2 emissions).
@kristiedegaris Yes, concrete has serious consequences in many areas. Sand extraction from coastal seabeds causing seashore depletion and more seriously, anialating habitats for sealife.
We import all our cement now. We were manufacturing it locally until quite recently. It's freighted here by ship.
We grow timber and export most of it.
We use very little timber in major builds. Predominantly housing.
Tar and cement. Our cities can't breath because they are bound together with so much solid.
