As many of you probably already know, today is Earth Day! In honor of this day, we wanted to remind you how nonprofits can make a difference in helping the environment.
Just the other day, Public Architecture announced in a press release in the San Francisco Chronicle that it is launching a program called the Design for Reuse Knowledge Exchange. The program is designed to promote the reuse of materials in design and construction. The Exchange will act as a "living encyclopedia" of projects all over the world that involve reused materials. This figures to be an important project for our planet; the press release states that 30% of raw materials in the world go towards construction projects. The Exchange is meant to set the world on a path of sustainable development which will help us limit our effects on the planet's natural resources.
