> Have you been wondering about the Deconstruction signs on Aurora  
> Street this
> week? Here’s what’s happening:
>
> Finger Lakes ReUse and New Earth Living are joining forces to  
> deconstruct
> several old barns on the site of the pocket neighborhood- The Aurora
> Dwelling Circle, www.newearthliving.net Deconstruction is a green
> alternative to traditional demolition. In traditional demolition the  
> entire
> structure ends up in the landfill. Our mission is to dismantle the  
> buildings
> and reuse every possible component that we can. In addition to  
> honoring the
> earth and the resources we have harvested from it, we also reduce
> consumption of new resources and the energy necessary to produce and  
> process
> them. Moreover, we decrease the relentless land and resource  
> consumption of
> transfer stations and our nation’s landfills. This new paradigm  
> approach to
> waste also creates new job opportunities and workforce development. On
> Monday of next week ten youths from GIAC will be learning new skills  
> in
> construction and teamwork as they help us take these barns down.
>
>
> Please join us next week on site! Finger Lakes ReUse is seeking  
> volunteers
> to assist with this project Monday through Thursday beginning August  
> 1st. If
> you are interested please contact Erich Kruger, Deconstruction  
> Coordinator,
> at
> erich at fingerlakesreuse.org.

> Also please come by and help yourself to any of the Architectural or  
> 3-tab
> shingles and rolled roofing at the back of the 3rd bay! but do it  
> soon we
> have to have the barns cleared for the volunteers by Monday.
