Along with a few of my colleagues, Rama and I donated our muscles for a Habitat for Humanity's (H4H) deconstruction project on March 10, 2007. It was very rewarding work. We salvaged material (to the extent we could) from a house donated to the H4H (for selling it in the ReStore). This is a perfect example of a win-win situation. The donors get tax write-offs and they don't have to deal with all the mess. Consumers of affordable housing get cheap building material. Landfills save space, as this material would have ended up there if not for this recycling.
Our bodies were sore for a couple of days after the work, but it was worth it. I have a lot of respect for people who do this kind of work for a living. I was delighted to see that our work was covered in our agency-wide newsletter (including pics. of me and Rama).
