January 14, 2007—Extreme Makeover: Home Edition ABC’s Extreme Makeover of the Noyola family’s Chicago home included nine donated EnviroSLAB recycled glass and porcelain countertops and matching backsplash panels for their new kitchen. While the entire renovation was designed to be sustainable and enviromentally friendly, the Noyola family’s eco-friendly countertops included blue and green recycled glass and recycled porcelain from discarded toilets. EnviroGLAS is proud to have been a part of this well-deserved “green” extreme makeover and we wish the family all the best in their new home.
2004—Bukhair Elementary School In 2004, Richardson ISD Carolyn G. Bukhair Elementary opened, and students began walking to school each day on recycled glass floors. Ecologically sound Terrazzo runs throughout the two-story building in vivid blue, mustard, jade, and several shades of beige to brown. District values like ‘fairness,’ ‘patriotism,’ and ‘honesty’ are inlaid in steel insets throughout the Terrazzo floors and are repeated in a hanging mobile over the front desk.
In an effort to educate the next generation of green builders, EnviroGLAS spearheads Recycling Day at Bukhair on November 15. Students receive encouragement and instruction in ecology, recycling and sustainability and have the chance to see examples of products made from recycled materials. They watch a slide presentation on the installation of their school’s recycled glass floor, learn that the glass came from a local source, and have the opportunity to ask and answer questions. They participate in their own recycling drive and sign pledge cards to recycle at home. Students also receive TEKS appropriate recycling classroom lessons. EnviroGLAS has donated terrazzo products to a number of worthy causes, including:
