Sustainability - Embodied Carbon

What is "Embodied Carbon"?  Why should I care?  Lisa Conway is a leading figure in developing something that is a new concept to many of us.  She will explain that it represents the cumulative amount of carbon content that every single manufactured product in the world acquires during each step of its supply chain.  Because multiple companies add to it, this presents a number of real-world challenges in determining it's value and each company's contribution.
