Recycled Dreams

I have a rather large amount of old Asphalt shingles in our driveway that I just knew had to have the chance for a second life in the recycled world. So I googled "Recycled Asphalt Shingles" and Voila! There is definitely a great deal of resources that describe the many uses of recycled shingles. I believe it to be one of the creative outgrowths for each STEM Center to empower an awareness of recycling , both how it is done in nature and how we may engender Natural capital growth by finding new uses for old products -such as old roofs. The amount of usable waste that occupies the landfills is incredible. The value to be gleaned from the development of these sciences and subsequent societal practices is well...priceless. The creation of an awareness of all these underutilized resources can encumber the reuse of the most undervalued resource, that is creative applications of the human mind and experiences in the real world.
