How the hell does it reduce air pollution?
Smell that: that’s the smell of snake oil and ink on middle of the harbour plots of land..
I’ve read their site and can’t see how it does anything except produce air pollution because it’s gotta be manufactured..
Elegant Embellishments?

The word elegant is overused anyways.
My guess is that they use a sort of CO2 absorbtion technology to create a new material - calcium carbonate. I’ve read about this elsewhere, but I agree it seems a little hokey and silly not to actually tell us, even in simple terms, how the process works.
