Green
Vocabulary

Repurpose - To take what may be otherwise a waste item and use it for another purpose - e.g a coffee jar becomes a jar for keeping nails.

Environmental
Initiative

Habitat’s Environmental Initiative promotes cost-effective, best-practice construction methods to its U.S. affiliates, raising awareness of the environmental impacts of house building. As a result, partner families may enjoy healthier, more energy-efficient and durable housing at the lowest possible cost. Over time the initiative has been integrated into Habitat’s standard education and training activities, so that affiliates are encouraged to be good house builders and good stewards of natural resources.
