We are still digesting all that we learned at the St Lucie County Western Lands Study; as well as researching the resulting questions and exciting options.
Meanwhile, we are actively grateful for the generosity and the "I Can Recycle!" attitude of our good friend, Dr. Denise Punger. When confronted with a mountain of construction salvage, she determined that it would be recycled and not landfilled. Knowing Chef was super handy and would gladly repurpose all that he could, she took time away from her many obligations to make it available to us. Her generosity has already improved our ecosystem, our house and soon, The S&S. Thank You, Denise!
If you have something you don't need, odds are more likely that someone else could use it then that it must be thrown away. Try http://www.freecycle.org/ to find it a useful home. Or under Free on http://www.craigslist.org/. Locally, construction salvage/overage can be donated to Habitat For Humaity's Restore in Fort Pierce. We cruise the area's many Goodwill, Salvation Army and non-profit second hand stores; these are excellent donation options when considering pitching something. No doubt, we all have a connection to a school, hospital, group, library, church that could use or sell our donation for a good purpose. Rehoming your unused stuff is good for the earth and your local community.
