Por Sarah Goff, Co-fundadora de The Repurpose Project<\/p>\n

\u00a1Compra USADO! Mucha gente est\u00e1 familiarizada con los beneficios de comprar localmente, pero The Repurpose Project se esfuerza por promover los beneficios ambientales de comprar USADO. Todos los d\u00edas se desechan materiales valiosos. Todos vemos cosas apiladas a un lado de la carretera. Algunos de nosotros lo vemos cuando la curiosidad nos impulsa a mirar dentro de un contenedor y, a veces, incluso saltamos dentro para recuperar un tesoro que fue desechado. The Repurpose Project anima a todos a preguntar: \u201c\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 comprar cosas nuevas cuando hay tantas cosas USADAS en perfecto estado en nuestras propias comunidades?\u201d. Cuando compras algo usado, eliminas todo lo que implica la producci\u00f3n de un nuevo producto. Las materias primas no tienen que ser recolectadas o extra\u00eddas del planeta. El agua necesaria para la fabricaci\u00f3n no se utiliza. La energ\u00eda necesaria para recolectar\/extraer, producir y enviar el producto no se utiliza. Se elimina el embalaje. Adem\u00e1s, ahorras dinero. \u00a1Por lo tanto, tiene mucho sentido comprar usado siempre que sea posible!<\/p>\n

El Proyecto Repurpose se cre\u00f3 en 2011 para cubrir el vac\u00edo en materia de reciclaje que se observaba en nuestras comunidades. La organizaci\u00f3n recupera art\u00edculos que las tiendas de segunda mano tradicionales no aceptan. Por ejemplo, una silla rota se puede desmontar y las patas que est\u00e1n en buen estado se pueden utilizar para construir una mesita de centro. Se aceptan crayones sueltos, ligas (a menudo de productos agr\u00edcolas) o clips, y se clasifican en frascos con art\u00edculos similares. Un solo art\u00edculo por s\u00ed solo parece in\u00fatil, pero una vez clasificado se convierte en un valioso juego de crayones o en un recipiente de un gal\u00f3n lleno de ligas. \u00bfEn qu\u00e9 se diferencia el Proyecto Repurpose de una tienda de segunda mano? Estos son algunos art\u00edculos que es posible que encuentres en el centro de reutilizaci\u00f3n y que no se ven en las tiendas de segunda mano tradicionales: material de oficina (carpetas, archivadores, clips, gomas el\u00e1sticas, grapas), materiales tradicionales para manualidades (tela, pintura, bol\u00edgrafos, papel), art\u00edculos para fiestas (decoraciones, papel de regalo, cajas, cintas), materiales art\u00edsticos poco convencionales (chatarra, restos de pl\u00e1stico, trozos de madera), residuos electr\u00f3nicos\/cables (cargadores, cables, cableado el\u00e9ctrico, cable de altavoces, cable de tel\u00e9fono). La organizaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n ofrece materiales de construcci\u00f3n como madera, herrajes, ventanas, techos, pisos y accesorios de iluminaci\u00f3n. El Repurpose Project se asoci\u00f3 recientemente con The Zen Center, un complejo habitacional cercano para residentes transitorios, para desmantelar casas que estaban destinadas a ser demolidas, colocadas en contenedores de basura y llevadas al vertedero. El reciclaje de materiales de construcci\u00f3n est\u00e1 demostrando ser un recurso popular y muy necesario en nuestra comunidad. Estas iniciativas de desmantelamiento desv\u00edan una cantidad considerable de peso y volumen del vertedero.<\/p>\n

Otro aspecto \u00fanico de The Repurpose Project es la estructura de precios. Algunos art\u00edculos tienen un precio asignado mientras que otros no. Los materiales de construcci\u00f3n tienen un precio debido a los costos laborales asociados con los esfuerzos de deconstrucci\u00f3n. Los art\u00edculos sin precio son valorados por el comprador (regateo inverso). Por ejemplo, una persona sin hogar puede entrar y conseguir un saco de dormir por $$0.50 o un cargador de tel\u00e9fono por $$0.05. En el otro extremo, alguien vendr\u00e1 por un cable de impresora y ofrecer\u00e1 $$13 porque esa es la cantidad que vieron a la venta en la tienda de electr\u00f3nica, y quieren apoyar los esfuerzos del proyecto. Es un sistema de precios de escala m\u00f3vil, y el equilibrio parece estar funcionando. The Repurpose Project est\u00e1 encantado de que la organizaci\u00f3n haya encontrado una manera de abordar los problemas de desigualdad social y salarial, as\u00ed como los ambientales.<\/p>\n

El Repurpose Project se encuentra actualmente en un edificio de 278 metros cuadrados, pero planea mudarse a unas instalaciones mucho m\u00e1s grandes para finales de 2014. Una vez que el proyecto se mude a un edificio m\u00e1s grande, iniciar\u00e1 una biblioteca de pr\u00e9stamos y una ludoteca. Hay muchos art\u00edculos que se pueden compartir dentro de una comunidad en lugar de que cada persona sea due\u00f1a de los suyos. Compartir no solo reduce nuestro impacto ambiental, sino que tambi\u00e9n es una parte importante en la construcci\u00f3n de comunidad.<\/p>\n

El objetivo es, alg\u00fan d\u00eda, tener una tienda departamental de reutilizaci\u00f3n con una conveniencia que rivalice con las tiendas departamentales tradicionales. Este \"compre y entregue\" todo en uno brindar\u00eda a los clientes el beneficio adicional de dejar art\u00edculos de donaci\u00f3n en el mismo viaje de compras. The Repurpose Project entiende que la conveniencia impulsa a los consumidores; por lo tanto, facilitar que los consumidores compren art\u00edculos usados en lugar de nuevos es una prioridad. Eventualmente, nos gustar\u00eda ubicarnos en un centro comercial que re\u00fana tiendas de reutilizaci\u00f3n independientes, creando as\u00ed una experiencia de compra de reutilizaci\u00f3n conveniente.<\/p>\n

The Repurpose Project es un esfuerzo comunitario sin fines de lucro para desviar recursos \u00fatiles del vertedero, redirigir estos art\u00edculos al p\u00fablico para arte y educaci\u00f3n, inspirar la creatividad y ayudarnos a todos a repensar lo que desechamos. The Repurpose Project es una organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro 501(c) 3, cuyas donaciones son deducibles de impuestos, ubicada en Gainesville, Florida. Los siguientes miembros del personal dirigen el Proyecto: Mike Myers (cofundador), Sarah Goff (cofundadora), Lynn Polke (gerente de la tienda), Wanda J. Burnette-Walker (artista residente de mosaicos\/voluntaria), Tobe Terrell (l\u00edder de deconstrucci\u00f3n del Zen Center) y Nelson Laffey (especialista en reparaciones\/voluntario). The Repurpose Project se ha asociado con muchos grupos locales para ayudar a educar al p\u00fablico sobre la reducci\u00f3n de residuos y mejorar la desviaci\u00f3n de vertederos en el condado de Alachua. Estos grupos incluyen personal y estudiantes de la Universidad de Florida, personal y estudiantes de Santa Fe College, Shands Medical Plaza, maestros y estudiantes de secundaria y primaria, y el Departamento de Obras P\u00fablicas de la Ciudad de Gainesville.<\/p>\n
