Choose to Reuse: An Encyclopedia of Services, Businesses, Tools & Charitable Programs That Foster Reuse

This revolutionary guide is the first to show the ingenious ways that individuals, businesses and charitable organizations can profit from reuse -- the second environmental "R." More than 200 topics and 2,000 resources, from Air Filters to Zippers. A Book-of-the-Month Club selection. 480 pages, recycled paper/vegetable ink, illustrated, paperback.

Even those who strive toward a greener world get stymied by what to do next after composting their veggies and recycling their paper, glass, and tin. But Nikki and David Goldbeck have compiled a reference of more than 2,000 resources on more than 200 topics, providing information on how to reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, restore, reclaim, refill, recharge, and resell everything from air filters to zippers. The book itself is printed on recycled paper with vegetable oil-based ink, the ink-jet cartridges were refilled, the copier cartridges remanufactured, and the computer printer and monitor were borrowed.
