Thanks to Julie Pasta for submitting the following information: VHS Tapes
Now that DVDs have taken over, everyone has a pile of old VHS tapes gathering dust.  To keep them out of landfills, drop them in the mail to Alternative Community Training, a nonprofit Missouri company that provides jobs to people with disabilities.  Workers erase the tapes, reselling the ones that are in good shape and recycling the plastic parts of the rest.  They've recycled more than 1 million tapes so far.  Mail the tapes (at the cheaper USPS media mail rate) to ACT, 2200 Burlington, Columbia, MO  65202.

It's what you do for others".  - Danny

Topeka Home Builders Association and Topeka Professional Remodelers Council are GOING GREEN!

 

Green homes incorporate environmental considerations and resource efficiency into every step of the building and development process to minimize environmental impact. The design, construction, and operation of a home must focus on energy and water efficiency, resource efficient building design and materials, indoor environmental quality, and must take the home's overall impact on the environment into account. Many of the homes processes and technologies that go into a green home happen behind the scenes and behind the walls. For more information on Green Building and Remodeling, contact the THBA Green Building/Energy council at 785 273-1260 or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
