Fantastic article today re the biggest waste producer
~
We recycle cans and bottles, why not buildings?

plastic bags are but a drip in the vast waste bucket, and a great distraction from the biggest culprits of preventable waste that ends up in landfills; developers who dump construction and demolition debris
~
why not penalize developers for dumping all that waste
~
and provide incentives for developers that reuse, recycle demolition and building waste
~
that would make a HUGE difference
