The art of recycling for a greener environment starts with seeing trash as "abandoned material" so that we can create "Abundance from the Abandoned" in "Amazing Ways".

If you can think like artist, Matthew
Mazzotta , you will be able to fold up your theatre neatly back into a house. How?
Let’s take a look at what Open House, a transforming theater that can seat 100 people, is all about.
It is obvious that instead of complaining that old abandoned property is an eyesore and blighted the look in their neighbourhood, the residents of York in Alabama have taken charge and make merry in a very environmentally friendly way by re-using material from them.
Americans! The next time you want to renovate your home, maybe you should run through what you intend to discard with PlanetReuse Marketplace as they maybe looking for that very material for their next building project. In fact, it is very likely too that you can find some stuff in their warehouse to re-use for your renovation
And if you think that it is not cool to utilize used items in your "upgrading" project, maybe taking a look at how used items are utilized at Pinterest can change your mind. Also, there is Dan Phillips, an American designer and builder from Texas who can give you some ideas on how to incorporate reclaimed material into your home.
A company that sells reclaimed building items? Can they be trusted? PlanetReuse Marketplace did make it on WSJ Start Up of the Year List for 2013, if that is of any assurance to you.
"Stoltman said the market for recyclables is so bad many haulers are having a tough time covering collection costs. So to get around the downturn of the prices, Stoltman's company has rented a huge warehouse in Rogers and is stockpiling sorted paper, plastic and metal."
It's a gamble for haulers to rent space to store recyclables. What if the price for recyclables continue to plunge? How long can recyclables like used paper be stored before pests like rats get to them?
Can you see another disaster happening? What if it becomes too expensive for haulers to collect used paper? Will we have to discard them?
Can one disaster be used to resolve another. Martin at Make Papercrete shows you how by making building material out of waste paper.
Now haulers who can't afford to rent space for their scrap material can consider offering their more perishable used paper to organizations who are working on building homes for those displaced by natural disasters.
As an incentive for haulers to give away their scrap paper, allow them to advertise on one side of the wall of new home.
