Naming me here is demagogic. I highly resent this use of my name as a child 
killer, in a gratuitous fashion. I happen to be highly involved in efforts to 
reduce all pollution through my efforts and support of the Earth Protector 
Organization which is headquartered in North Mpls. in space I provide. 

Also as a small businessman called landlord, I am always seeking to preserve 
existing housing. I recycle so many used items into my buildings keeping them 
out of the landfill or incinerator. My efforts also, in a tiny incremental 
way, reduce the need to tap natural resources to manufacture new building 
products. 

The short list of items I recycle: Mis-mixed paint (100 gallons this year), 
used window glass (much), used kitchen and bathroom fixtures, cabinetry, and 
hardware (often), used clothing as rags (exclusively), light fixtures 
(antique to modern), tenant items and furniture  (too often left behind at 
move-out) I forward to needy families, even tenants/renters who have had bad 
breaks but con/convince me that they deserve another chance. I could go on 
(and on) as I think of the stuff I have reused in twenty years of responsible 
Landlording. Stop pedaling trashtalk, as you do not know me Mr. Hoover.
