The story as I remember it was about the removal of several trees whose roots where wreaking havoc on the neighboring sidewalk. Someone protested, and an alternative solution was found with a recycled rubber substitute that wouldn't crack when roots grew underneath (thus saving the trees), and provided a nice little spring in your step. :) Actually, I remember reading about a “soft concrete” that was being used somewhere in SoCal.

From what I understand, in California they mainly build homes out of wood due to the flexibility that it possesses making it a bonus when earthquakes strike. And now you have EEC which (I'm assuming) has the strength of concrete with the flexibility of wood - very nice! Although the short-term impact is low, it’s neat to see that such a material exists.
