A 2003 study by the EPA found that164,000 million tons of C&D waste is produced annually in the US, of which 9 percent is construction waste, 38 percent is renovation waste, and 53 percent is demolition debris.<br /><br />It is absolutely insane how wasteful teardowns are - and I haven't even mentioned Embodied Energy, the environmental, energy, and monetary costs of the actual teardown work, or the impact of whatever will be built in its place. If they call the new building "Green", you can be sure that is a bold-faced lie.<br /><br />Any idea whether anyone is doing salvage work to reclaim some of the more useful or aesthetic architectural elements?CWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714279198511808379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-89154098873098174842011-11-22T12:29:54.411-05:002011-11-22T12:29:54.411-05:00How sad.
