Speak the truth. Speak it loud and often, calmly but insistently, and speak it, as the Quakers say, to power. Material accumulation is not the purpose of human existence. All growth is not good. The environment is a necessity, not a luxury. There is such a thing as "enough."

Housing, affordability, fairness
Shelter is a basic human need. But housing is far more complex. Housing is wrapped up with regional markets, consumer preferences, social status, racism, exclusionary zoning, and many other issues.
This section will explore how these issues play out in Northeast Ohio, with a special emphasis on how the region could plan for a fair distribution of affordable housing.

ReStore
Susan Miller Says:ReStore — Quality New and Used Building Materials and Tools
ReStore reuses, recycles and resells functional building materials that are in good condition, thereby diverting thousands of tons of usable materials from local landfills. The community gets affordable and sometimes unusual items for home improvement and renovations at deeply discounted prices.
If you are building a green home or restoring an old chestnut check this out Habitat for Humanity isn't elsewhere. It's right here in our neighborhoods.
