BCarbon Presentation

BCarbon and the circular economy


On the night of February 8th 2022, Jim Blackburn spoke to a small in-person group at The Houston Museum of Natural Science and the talk was broadcast via Zoom to a wider audience. The subject of the evening was BCarbon and the Circular Economy.  If you would like to hear the whole presentation, you can play the audio below.

Or you can download the transcript of Jim's speech:

Since last we heard Jim speak, his ideas have matured and expanded, and he had much news about new partners, new customers, and a general tipping point in acceptance of the BCarbon idea, not only locally, but internationally. 


Thank you to all of the donors at Emily Todd’s fundraising event who have supported Calming the Waters and whose generous donations made this filming possible!
