What is renewable carbon and why did Stahl join the Renewable Carbon Initiative?
To answer the first question we will have to go back to school; during our biology and chemistry classes we learned that carbon is the main element in organic compounds and is essential to life on Earth. Without carbon, life as we know it could not exi...
