What our members have to say about Reuse Minnesota |
Kelly Fischer, Rethos: Places Reimagined
"Rethos knows that Reuse Minnesota is a very valuable player in Minnesota’s reuse and sustainability network! While initially looking to expand our influence and understanding in the reuse community, Rethos turned to Reuse Minnesota as a resource for connecting our organization with local reuse initiatives across the state. Rethos is passionate about the repair and reuse of old buildings and building materials from both an environmental and preservation perspective. In addition to diverting construction and demolition waste from the landfill, building and materials reuse can help to preserve stories, culture, and historical context in our communities.
Being a member at Reuse Minnesota has allowed us to gain access to new reuse resources and learning opportunities, as well as engage and collaborate with other reuse-based organizations! We are proud to continue our membership with Reuse Minnesota and are excited for years of grassroots sustainability work to come! Thank you, Reuse Minnesota!"
Carmen Paredes Dockry, Mano a Mano International |
Sue Doll, Anoka County "Working in government for many years, and predominantly helping develop recycling programs, I find it very refreshing to be part of an organization that is totally dedicated to reducing and reusing. This is the highest priority of the waste management hierarchy, yet it hasn’t been a major focus until now. The members represent very diverse industries, many small, yet everyone is passionate about using someone else’s “trash” in creative ways and prolonging the life of resources. I was only aware of the larger organizations previously. Reuse Minnesota has opened by eyes to an amazing array of small businesses and non-profits. Many have built their organization from the bottom up and are transforming the lives of their workers while reducing waste! Having government partner with Reuse Minnesota members can help us both reach our goals." |
