Boring bricks

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Here's a cool business innovation: when you dig up tons of dirt and you figure out how to use it for something practical, something that someone needs and will gladly pay for.

The Boring Company builds tunnels underground - so they literally have tons of dirt on their hands. It's expensive, according to the website, to collect and haul away. So they're making bricks out of the dirt, construction bricks.



For additional cost-cutting, they may even use these bricks immediately on the structure that supports the tunnels. And this process will be environmentally friendly, as (again) the website says, because "concrete production accounts for 4.5% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions," and these bricks will replace the equivalent of concrete.
