Reuse & Renewables
Putting things to better use
Why this matters?
Our goal here (in fact our entire Mission) is to link surplus with needs.

Promotion of naturally abundant renewable energy also needs public and government partnerships and engagement.
These can all help to reduce carbon emissions and off-gassing landfills, reversing global warming trends.
