The construction industry has a massive impact on the environment in terms of energy consumption, use of natural resources and waste. You can help reduce the amount of materials going to landfills by recycling commonly used materials. With a little sanding and painting, old furniture and shelving can be repurposed in creative new ways. The end result can be as good as new, but without the added cost. In this episode, we built a wine rack from discarded shelving and a rolling cart from discarded wood.
