Need to find any carpet recycling place, carpet sellers, carpet makers, and healthy flooring in KY (500 miles).
Presentations:
"Insulation Materials" by Helda
Looked into UK sponsored insulation projects. Like at the Johnson Center they have a collection box to gather denim jeans to make insulation. Cellulose insulation is something she looked into. She got a sample, and it's made in KY. The sample was composed of newspapers. The blue jean denim insulation process seems rather simple, and doesn't contain any hazards.
"Paint and Pollution" by Mallory
Contacted Sherwin Williams to ask about what is on the market, and their take on the no and low VOC labels. Did experiments with a variety of paints mixtures, and found a wide range of results. Would like to maybe try painting on her own walls with the best solution.
"Healthy Alternatives to Carpet" by me
"Concrete" by Mark
The idea of melting glass bottles down to recycle into concrete isn't a bad alternative, and seems the best way to recycle glass bottles. This is because companies don't want a mixture of colored glass bottles; they just want their one color for advertising. He actually went so far as to make his own concrete with glass pieces counter top.
"Refrigeration Systems" by Jeremy
The refrigeration systems are changing today. Some companies like Coke have advanced their systems to be somewhat better. While others are still unhealthy and off gassing continuously. Want to address question of architects can't use refrigerates and instead what do we need to do. That's a hard question to answer.
"Kudzu" by Bridgette
Looking into kudzu in fiberboard. She did an experiment with kudzu, resin, and a press. The kudzu that she placed in a pot, actually grew even with resin on. It's also safe for animals because her dog act some and didn't get sick.
"SIPS" by Miles
He was very upset with the way the HBEER project is being done. The idea of construction waste is a major issue being faced. This can change through education and enforcement. He went and visited the Toyota supplier, and saw all the waste products there.
