FIRST ENVIRO BRICK UNIT LAUNCHED AT GRANDWEST HOTEL COMPLEX As COVID-19 cases continue to rise across the globe, causing many people’s daily lives to come to a standstill, the internet is also abuzz with news about the surprising benefits of the outbreak on the environment. For example, the temporary restrictions of air and car travel have led to cleaner air, and the once murky canals of Venice have recently become clearer. The strict lockdowns in certain countries have also contributed, at least in part, to a noticeable drop in pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
