Normally, this would go in the Inshaw announcements, because it isn’t in Shaw, and I’m just recycling news but it is exciting to me and I figure I’ll put it out here:
Subject: Grand Opening of new Recycled Construction Materials center
This could be a great new resource for those of you renovating houses:

April 29, 2006
Have you checked out Community Forklift yet? We are the DC metro area’s surplus, salvaged, and green building materials store – owned and operated by the nonprofit Sustainable Community Initiatives. You can donate building materials to receive a tax deduction, or buy new and used items at very low prices!
COME SEE US AND CELEBRATE OUR GRAND OPENING!
Our goals are to:
· Lift up communities by making repairs more affordable for homeowners, small businesses and community groups;
· Reduce construction waste, decreasing the demand for virgin materials and keeping reusable materials out of landfills and incinerators;
· Create career opportunities for local residents; and
· Educate the public about green building materials and methods, especially reuse.
It’s time to celebrate our opening!
Please come to our party on April 29, 2006.
