If there's one lesson to learn from all of this, it's that reducing carbon emissions (the only way to save the planet) doesn't have to be something that's painful and hard. In fact, it's quite the opposite. If you make products that people actually really want, and improve their lives, they will buy and use that product. The more people that buy and use the product, the more carbon emissions you reduce.

One of the largest forces of carbon emission reduction in this country didnt even exist a decade ago. It's crazy to think, but the concept of “smart building controls” was literally just an idea drawn on a napkin ten years ago. Today they are installed in 7,500 buildings. And they’re one of the largest reducers of GHG emissions in the country. The story of how this all happened is both fascinating and totally unexpected. And it starts with trash bags.
