Reusable Materials Exchange

I only want one thing: to save the planet. This is, I admit, a large and amorphous goal.

Will it ever be accomplished? There are many changes that will need to take place. The fun part of this goal is that I keep encountering different ways that different people are also working towards this goal. I just found another one that seems very interesting and worthwhile.

There is a Reusable Materials Exchange website (www.2good2toss.com), which is sponsored by Pierce County and the City of Tacoma. Think of it like a locally-sponsored CraigsList. Things can be bought and sold, and also there are many materials that will be given away. In browsing through the website, there is everything from tires to clothing to farming materials.

Seattle has its Second Use Building Materials (www.seconduse.com), which has lots of very cool stuff. I have been wanting to buy one of those marble slabs that they have recovered from one of various high-end remodeling projects.
