Folks, we will be at the Green Expo this Saturday, sharing with the public about green demolition, landfill diversion and building community. These events usually cost the exhibitors a fee. We are very fortunate that last year Mary Fisher sponsored us and this year, Deborah Robbins of RUBBERFORM Recycled Products is sponsoring ReUse.  So, I wanted to give them props and share a little of what they do in case you’re not able to make it to the Expo.  They help clean up the environment by collecting rubber and they recycle the rubber into products for your home, work place (like safety mats), parking lots and other construction related needs–even stuff for playgrounds.  Their website features hundreds of eco-friendly products and it describes how using their product is better than some other methods.  For instance, buying one of their curb ramps instead of buying (an rebuying) gravel as a temporary fix for getting up curbs helps the environment and your budget.  We are interested in the hose ramps because we try to use the fire department’s retired fire hoses to fill the water barrels in the gardens so folks can water their vegetables.  The ramp would allow us to keep the hoses longer.  Protect the environment; buy American-made recycled products!
