Buffalo ReUse Joins Idealist.org

We recently joined Idealist.org:

Idealist is a project of Action Without Borders, a nonprofit organization founded in 1995 with offices in the United States and Argentina. Idealist is an interactive site where people and organizations can exchange resources and ideas, locate opportunities and supporters, and take steps toward building a world where all people can lead free and dignified lives.

They wrote up a blog post about us:

From Trash for Teaching to Pedals for Progress, our organizations database reveals many examples of how nonprofits are helping people to reduce waste in almost every part of their life. In Buffalo, New York, Buffalo ReUse promotes an alternative to demolishing vacant buildings: they deconstruct buildings piece by piece in order to ensure that everything from sinks to siding can be reused. In addition to keeping usable materials out of landfills, the organization helps to strengthen the city’s economy by selling recycled building materials at their retail store; providing start-to-finish assistance to anyone considering a deconstruction project; and conducting job training and leadership development sessions for young people.
