Solid Waste Alliance Communities

(SWAC)

 

ReNew Salvage is a non-profit organization selling used and surplus building materials and offering deconstruction services. Deconstructing a building can divert 75% of the material from the landfill. Contractor and homeowner materials donations are tax-deductible. For more information about our programs, hours, and location, please visit www.renewsalvage.org. 

Google: If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved. In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously with lower energy consumption: www.blackle.com
