"Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, waterbugs, tadpoles, frogs & turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, hickory nuts, trees to climb, animals to pet, hayfields, pine cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets – and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education." -Luther Burbank 1849 - 1926

Sustainable Materials for Building

SOURCES OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS:

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat "Restores" are also used by Habitat affiliates. Restores are warehouses where parts of deconstructed buildings can be taken for resale. There are also new items donated by companies that may be last year's model, or a discontinued or overstocked item. These are made available not only to the Habitat affiliates but to the public as well. These stores especially help low-income families and rental property owners improve their houses. The sale of these donated items brings income to Habitat to construct more houses, helping other low-income families who qualify for our no-interest loans.
