Interesting Interview

After my interview with a guy from Re-Store, I was able to learn about another aspect of green building that I will be able to talk about in my research. It was cool how things worked out. Originally, I was supposed to interview another guy who specializes in solar energy, but since he cancelled, I needed to meet with some else. The guys from Re-Store are the ones I had initially talked to about setting up an interview. Anyhow, after talking with Tim (works for Re-Store), I came to the conclusion that green building is not just about the technology of it, but rather the idea and purpose. Re-Store is a non-profit organization that prevents pounds and pounds of materials from going into landfills. Re-Store takes the materials and sells them back for re-use. The “green” concept becomes involved when people build different things with used or recycled materials. This saves trees, landfills and the rest of the environment. Overall, it was really interesting learning about what this organization stands for. I encourage everyone to take a look at the website (Re-store.org)!
