This month we're thanking our partners at Earthway Enterprises for donating to Habitat KC ReStores. Earthway was originally founded in Durango, Colorado with the idea that building practices can and need to change. Scott Kelley, CEO, was inspired by many things he saw in the Rocky Mountains and elsewhere - things like solar energy for natural light, recycling rain water and the use of natural materials, even helping a friend make a building out of hay bales and clay. When he moved to Kansas City, he incorporated many of those ideas into his remodeling and has incorporated the idea that nothing needs to go to waste. Many of the materials taken our of projects he works on come to our stores, allowing others to reuse them and help raise money for low income KC families to get homes of their own. Thank you, Scott, and everyone who uses Earthway for their projects! |
