Here’s what’s happening:<br> <br>Finger Lakes ReUse and New Earth Living are joining forces to deconstruct<br>several old barns on the site of the pocket neighborhood- The Aurora<br>Dwelling Circle,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.newearthliving.net">www.newearthliving.net</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Deconstruction is a green<br>alternative to traditional demolition. In traditional demolition the entire<br>structure ends up in the landfill. Our mission is to dismantle the buildings<br>and reuse every possible component that we can. In addition to honoring the<br>earth and the resources we have harvested from it, we also reduce<br>consumption of new resources and the energy necessary to produce and process<br>them. Moreover, we decrease the relentless land and resource consumption of<br>transfer stations and our nation’s landfills. This new paradigm approach to<br>waste also creates new job opportunities and workforce development. On<br>Monday of next week ten youths from GIAC will be learning new skills in<br>construction and teamwork as they help us take these barns down.<br> <br> <br>Please join us next week on site! Finger Lakes ReUse is seeking volunteers<br>to assist with this project Monday through Thursday beginning August 1st. If<br>you are interested please contact Erich Kruger, Deconstruction Coordinator,<br>at<br><a href="mailto:erich@fingerlakesreuse.org">erich@fingerlakesreuse.org</a>.<br> <br>Also please come by and help yourself to any of the Architectural or 3-tab<br>shingles and rolled roofing at the back of the 3rd bay! but do it soon we<br>have to have the barns cleared for the volunteers by Monday.<br> <br> <br>Susan Cosentini<br>newearthliving.net<br>cosentiniconstruction.com<br>thelisteningworkshop.com <<a href="http://www.thelisteningworkshop.com">http://www.thelisteningworkshop.com</a>><br>6073271081<br> <br>527 N Aurora St.<br>Ithaca NY 14850<br> <br>6072771316 fax</ul></span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
