ARE USED BY THE COMMUNITY AS ARTS, CRAFTS, AND EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES. ADDITIONALLY, RESOURCE'S BUILDING MATERIAL STORE AT 339 PINE STREET, BURLINGTON IS HOME TO THE DECONSTRUCTION SERVICE AND WASTE-NOT-PRODUCTS. FOUNDED IN 2001, THE BUILDING MATERIAL ENTERPRISE ADDRESSES BOTH THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF BUILDING MATERIAL SALVAGE AND SUPPLY. MORE THAN 30 PERCENT OF THE MATERIAL IN LANDFILLS IS CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS INCLUDING LUMBER, HARDWOOD FLOORING, AND CABINET. AS THESE MATERIALS DEGRADE THEY RELEASE GASES, ESPECIALLY METHANE, A POWERFUL GREENHOUSE GAS. RESOURCE'S DECONSTRUCTION SERVICE CAREFULLY AND SAFELY SALVAGES BUILDING MATERIALS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD FILL A LANDFILL. THROUGH THIS SERVICE THE ORGANIZATION CREATES JOBS, PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT, AND RELIEVES POVERTY BY MAKING THESE MATERIALS AVAILABLE AT THE BUILDING MATERIAL STORE. THE BUILDING MATERIAL STORE CLOSES THE LOOP IN THE BUILDING MATERIAL REUSE CYCLE BY PROVIDING AN OUTLET FOR HUNDREDS OF TONS OF WASTE THAT HOMEOWNERS AND CONTRACTORS HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO REUSE OR RECYCLE. HOMEOWNERS, TENANTS, CONTRACTORS, ARTISANS, AND DEVELOPERS ALL SHOP AT RESOURCE'S BUILDING MATERIAL STORE FOR A VARIETY OF MATERIALS INCLUDING LUMBER, PLYWOOD, WINDOWS, DOORS, SINKS, LIGHTING, ARCHITECTURAL ANTIQUE, AND WASTE-NOT- PRODUCTS.

SUCCESS OF THE ESSENTIAL GOODS PROGRAM IS MEASURED IN SEVERAL WAYS: THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED, THE NUMBER OF PARTNER AGENCIES PARTICIPATING, THE ABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION TO USE THE PROGRAM TO TRAIN APPRENTICE-STYLE AND WORK EXPERIENCE TRAINEES, AND THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL DIVERTED FROM LANDFILLS. RESOURCE'S TRAINING PROGRAMS SERVE A DIVERSE RANGE OF INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED NEW SKILLS AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED.
