Letters: Home Renovation in Brooklyn

Your May/June issue on home renovation arrived just as I was despairing of finding ecologically friendly building materials for a project in our brownstone. Thanks to your excellent resource list, we'll have shelves made from Medite II, a medium-density fiberboard without added formaldehyde made from 100 percent recovered and recycled wood fiber, which is cheaper than ordinary plywood. And we're installing a rubber floor made from recycled tires, by Expanko.

We also cleared some space by sending several old computers to be recycled by Per Scholas (www.perscholas.org)--as did our community garden.

Thanks for the tips!
