An example of green

"Results
from an 11-month period well into the effort indicates the
waste reduction project has achieved a 52 percent
recycling rate, exceeding the original goal of 35 percent.
Containers on site are used to separate concrete, wood,
metal, various paper products, and plastics. New materials
like the Styrofoam bead board that padded exterior
limestone panels on their trip from France and rebond
polyurethane foam used to package huge glass panes in
transit go back into packaging other goods. Drywall scraps
are ground up to become fertilizer." For more on this
