Hi Hipstomp,
Thanks so much for sharing this article. I am all about reuse and I love that the Olympics got into it. What an amazing platform to bring to the world the issue, though I wish it could have gotten more attention.
I am building a website for global knowledge sharing around reuse. If you'd like to check it out, you can find our FB page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/ReUseConnection/253021991560 .
Thanks again for this article and have a great day.
Warmest wishes,
Ian Moise
