where to find dirt cheep greenhouse materials?

Try your local Freecycle or Craigslist.

The Ecology of Recycling

05.12.09

How does resource reuse wear climate? Cycling energy through cogeneration, reuse of agricultural wastes, or recovery of energy-comprehensive materials such as aluminium, reduces greenhouse gases. Since most commercial energy is produced from burning fossil fuels, the power crop sector emits more greenhouse gases than any other industrial sector. Cycling materials for use in other production processes reduces the lifecycle impacts, when compared with virgin materials that must be extracted from the soil and then transformed and transported through numerous stages. Recovered resources free up land and capital for other opportunities that would have been required for the twin amount of goods to be made from virgin resources. Cycling water means using it more than once, a critical and increasingly firm practice where water is scarce owing to expected changes in precipitation patterns brought on by air change. To capture these concepts, industrial ecologists use the term “embedded
