Description
Using reclaimed and recyclable materials can be appealing but presents barriers favoring the status quo, often leaving potential benefits achievable. Landscape architects have the power to employ materiality in ways that decrease carbon footprints, minimize waste, promote collaborative community building, generate local economies, deepen place-based connections, and inspire future generations.
