Our Continously Updated Website |
|
We are constantly
trying to improve our ability to provide valuable content for our
members, industry professionals and the general public.
With the launch (August 2003) of this major revision of the website
we hope to increase viewer participation and provide the information
our viewers want in a friendlier and more visually stimulating form.
We continue to use a text based format which doesn't use programing
because it can be more easily maintained by our web impaired all
volunteer staff. |

The Resource-full Showcase |

In 2000 with a grant from the Alameda County Waste Management Authority (ACWMA) ADPSR-NorCal members and friends built a traveling environmental exhibit demonstrating recycled, reused, recyclable, and non-toxic materials in construction and remodeling. The Showcase, which is a 28 foot custom built trailer, constructed with over 50 recycled content and sustainable building materials, includes product information targeted to both a professional and non-professional audience. . The Showcase demonstrates many building products that can be put in use today, along with construction practices that increase efficiency, decrease waste and save money. |
