		<description><![CDATA[The book Green from the Ground Up, Sustainable, Healthy, and Energy-Efficient Home Construction, offers everything its title promises, and yet that very same title shows how wrong the authors are. It is 330 pages full of intelligent &#8220;green&#8221; building techniques covering everything from efficient insulation techniques to natural ventilation.
The book is a fantastic overview of pretty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We did two jobs over the past week on wood floors. They started out really ugly. And they ended up amazing. We finished them with 100% pure tung oil so they are really natural.
The first job was to remove some paint that a previous owner, in their infinite and unfathomable intelligence, had painted over the [...]]]></description>

The one consideration is fire. This was done in a restaurant, which means it shares the ceiling with an apartment upstairs, which means the ceiling has to be 2 hour fire [...]]]></description>

They accept donations of building materials and resell them at good prices. The drive behind them is mostly idealistic: one of making the world a greener place by reusing materials.

		<description><![CDATA[Eco Brooklyn has one rule: we don&#8217;t buy new wood. We buy damaged wood, salvaged wood, unwanted wood, and overstock from other Brooklyn contractors. We collect it from dumpsters.
But we won&#8217;t buy new wood. Period.
It is the thorn in my carpenters&#8217; side. When they are under pressure to perform (which is always), time is tight, [...]]]></description>

But we keep in mind the cost. If it costs the same in materials and labor to salvage than buy new then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Eco Brooklyn we are always looking for ways to reduce, reuse or recycle. Here is a cool thing we just discovered today.
Because we refinish a lot of old wood floors, either subfloors or salvaged floors that others deemed too beaten up to keep, we do a lot of sanding.
We go through A LOT of [...]]]></description>
