GREAT NEWS IN A NUTSHELL!

This building was built with 165,312 screws so that all building components can be disassembled at the end of its usefulness and recycled into other buildings!

AND, Solar panels over the parking lot charge electric cars (the system uses bidirectional charging, so the cars can send energy back to the building when it needs electricity). Changing rooms and showers encourage commuters to bike, and the site is near a train station. A green roof captures rainwater for flushing toilets. The office uses geothermal heating and cooling.

The world is so full of a number of things. . .and brilliant beings with great ideas!
