We have been using fly ash in concrete for over 30 years because of the
increase in workability and strength.  Interesting that some are now calling
this "green".

For anyone that has ever worked with concrete, green concrete will always be
considered to be concrete that is not fully cured and it gets its name from
its color.

As an architect, I think it is great that the users are finally asking us to
consider the environment when we build.  But I am also very tired of the
manufacturers, producers and salesmen who push "green" when there really
isn't much green there. _______________________________________________
