Building Sustainability a 2008 SEET Workshop Project 4. Material & Resources Sustainable Purchases: re-cycled contents, local manufacture, certified products, Life-Cycle Costing & Life-Cycle Assessment
Building Sustainability a 2008 SEET Workshop Project 4. Material & Resources "Most of us are familiar with recycle and reusing, but how often do we think of the third R - REDUCE? 'Reduce' is probably the most important of the three Rs because, if we reduced, it would limit the need to recycle and reuse. Waste Management: Reduce Re-use Recycle
