Natural Builders and Renovators Natural Builders and Renovators are those who will help you plan your project with the environment in mind.  Whether it is using sustainably harvested or recycled materials, or finishes that are low in VOCs and other chemicals, or perhaps working with longevity and waste reduction in mind, these folks should be able to consult with you and make informed recommendations based on your concerns. Much of what goes to the landfill and the hazardous waste depot is building and construction waste, so planning ahead to minimize waste in your next major project is a good idea.  Challenge yourself and your contractor to use the Green Shopping Principles! As with any large job, it is a good idea to get at least three quotes, ask for proof of insurance and professional association memberships and be sure to get it in writing before you go ahead!
