Raleigh Reuse
The Reuse Alliance Acts as a conduit that builds relationships between reuse sector organizations, and between the sector & the public. They’re hosting the first annual ReuseConex, a national conference and expo recognizing the importance of reuse.
October 18 through 20, 2010 the Reuse Alliance will host ReuseConex at the Raleigh Hilton. Admittedly, if you check out their website, the talk is pretty dry. But the walk? Seems to me there is a lot of potential to be stirred up at a confere
nce centered around the ecological topic of Reuse. Plus Garth Johnson, Extreme Craft-er extraordinaire is the keynote speaker.
There’s also an arts and crafts fair filled with vendors whose work is made up of at least 85% of materials rescued from the waste stream. {If you want to sell, there’s still time to apply!}
What else is planned?
- Expert panelists, motivating speakers, and informative workshops
- 40+ reuse-related exhibitors,
- Tours of local reuse centers,
- A reFashion Show, movie screenings, and much more!
Part of what they offer is a C & D (construction and demolition?) trading board that covers all of NC! All of you indie NCers doing renovation projects can post to sell excess materials and find resources ready for reuse to apply to those projects as well!
Since we’re on the topic of reuse, I’ve included a few of my favorite artists who take reuse to the next level:Lucky Accessories, Mikel Robinson, and Sew Bliss Sew are wells of eco-craft-inspiration.
