How to Recycle Everything

I came across this link and thought we could use it for some ideas to pass along.

How to Recycle Everything

I'd like to recommend the book:
Exposed: the Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products - Who's at Risk and What's at Stake for American Power by Mark Schapiro
It really gives you a global perspective of how the United States is falling behind the rest of the world and how it is affecting our economy.

Solar Shingles

Here is a link to an article about Solar Shingles. I was fascinated by this concept and am hopeful they can become part of the Brick renovation and Stafford's new building. I'm quite sure they will be expensive, but I wonder if we will be able to get a grant to help out with the cost of these. http://www.ovonic.com/PDFs/featured_solutions/oakland_university_goes_solar_uni-solar_shingles.pdf.
