And if nothing else shoudn't The City should have contracted with The Green Institute's DeConstruction program to take all that is salvagable out of the house first? Gross! What is so difficult about understanding this issue. It seems so basic.
In a sustainable community policies would be set that would have decisions made using a balance between the economics, the environment, and the social equity. It seems in the case Kim presented none of these three factors were thought about before the bulldozer came. Maybe we need some new folks at City Hall that will present more sane methods for making these kinds of decisions in order to make Minneapolis an eco-city. We're part of the way there with our parks, lakes and trees. It is time to go the rest of the way in setting new policies for the city and establishing Minneapolis as an eco-city. In my eco-city dream thinking first about reusing and recylcing would be part of this new direction of thinking about what we are doing to our fair city. It means we would have to do business differently - but isn't it about time?
