This Software Startup Doesn’t Just Aim To Profit, It Wants To Help Build A Greener Future
"The construction industry is responsible for an oversized chunk of the carbon emissions that cause climate change. More than a quarter of the total carbon comes from operating buildings — things like heating and cooling — and about 10% of the world’s emissions originate in the process of creating building materials, such as making steel and concrete. Part of Rheaply’s mission is to improve the secondary market for building supplies, thus reducing emissions and doing its part to save the planet."
