How well do California leaders know the state’s manufacturing industry, the nation’s #1 economic driver? We put their knowledge to the test on facts ranging from how many Californians the industry employs to how many manufacturers are considered small businesses. ➡️ Watch the full video for the answers. Some might surprise you!

“CA, which leads the nation in innovation, attracts no more than 1% of new manufacturing investment in the US. Why? Because it double-taxes production.” Our op-ed w/ @CalTax on why @AsmGrayson’s #AB1951 (which has 11 co-authors) is crucial legislation.calmatters.org/commentary/20…

Take a look at the rock-solid work our Self-Performed Concrete crew did at the South Waterfront Block 41 project with @CalPortland. Our crew had 3 pumps delivering a whopping 100 cubic yards of concrete per hour for a total of 1,900 cubic yards of concrete from over 200 trucks!

On top of this great message from @PCA, I’d like to recognize the @CalPortland Mojave, CA plant in this image. It’s a shining example of effective #windpower in cement production!
Some of the simplest solutions towards reaching carbon neutrality in the cement and concrete industry is to shift mindsets and optimize existing processes and approaches. Learn how that’s done here: bit.ly/3guWQTa

Concrete, made with cement, can absorb 20-25% of the carbon emitted to produce it. To understand the true impact of any product or structure, we need to think beyond embodied carbon and consider lifecycle emissions. Learn more bit.ly/35J3LSS #ClimateWeek #ClimateWeekNYC
