Many groups and individuals have been trying their best to find solutions for climate change, by reducing their carbon footprint. One company’s attempt is by creating concrete that, not only supposedly minimizes carbon emissions but also captures carbon from the atmosphere and absorbs it. That company’s name is Partanna, and their latest project is building a house made from carbon negative concrete in the Bahamas for former Lakers player and co-founder of the company Rick Fox.

After retiring from professional basketball, Rick Fox turned to Hollywood and pursued an acting career. But now, he has a new passion project in Partanna, specifically developing a new method of creating concrete that will combat climate change. With the help of architect Sam Marshall, they founded Partanna and worked with material scientists to create the process of manufacturing concrete without using cement. Without revealing much about the process, Partanna says that they use brine and slag as ingredients for their concrete, and with this mixture it allows them to reduce the amount of carbon by-product.
