Historic homes built on the former Kelly AFB 100+ years ago will now serve as a learning lab to empower San Antonians with new skills while connecting them with in-demand careers in an array of construction trades. Learn more: https://t.co/Bg3ppdn6f6 @popsatx@sapreservation
@sarabronin Thank you so much for sharing our video! ♻️ Let us know if there's an opportunity to advance deconstruction & reuse in HP at the federal level in your future work at ACHP. We'd love contribute our lessons learned thus far in SA! @PreservationAct@ClimateHeritage are engaged, too.
Deconstruction: the earth-friendly alternative to demolition, as explained in this brilliant short video produced by @sapreservation's @stephmariephil

This is an enormous #equity issue.
Despite this, buildings are still being crushed with bulldozers and sent to landfills. We need to rehab existing structures and if not, harvest quality materials from them via deconstruction to help combat this scarcity.
@MeghanEElliott thank you!! Same to you - I’m going to be rereading your paper over & over. Also: let’s start an Emphatic Speaker Wronged By Zoom support group because I’ve never related to anything more 😂
PoP's Learning Labs are demonstrating the role of cultural heritage in climate action by incorporating material reuse and carbon neutrality into the preservation process. Join us this Tuesday for a behind the scenes look! #climateheritage
Historic preservation is waste prevention. No empty seats as we discuss Portland's deconstruction & salvage efforts. San Antonio can do this - your city can too! Building an equitable circular economy = leveraging cultural heritage for climate action. #climateheritage
Join us and our colleagues from Portland to learn about the role that deconstruction plays in the development of a local #circulareconomy! Register for free here: https://t.co/ZyA8w0xaL6 🌿♻️
Before the Tiny House Movement, millions of Americans already lived in small houses. San Antonio has ~33k older homes that are 1k square feet or smaller. Many of these are Shotguns, Bungalows, & other traditional styles from late 19th/early 20th century (1/2) #affordablehousing
Reusing & retrofitting older and historic buildings: a win-win strategy that conserves embodied carbon, avoids new construction #GHGs and safeguards what people love about their community. #ClimateHeritage for #ClimateAction. #COP25 https://t.co/41tmcJ1u1Z
Arguing that a building is "green" or "sustainable" without taking into account the energy expended to construct it (mining, manufacture, transportation, land clearance, waste generated, etc.) is irresponsible and antithetical. V into pressing for a more holistic approach.
I love being a part of the @sapreservation team. #Rehabarama not only helps these families stay in their homes, but helps train a next generation of craftspeople & gives @UTSA students practical hands-on experience in the field. 🛠

Yesterday, our house officially became a local historic landmark in San Antonio after obtaining approval from @COSAGOV City Council.
