Treedesigner is a co-founder of Maxwood Institute of Treeconomics, a seminonfictional seminonprofit reorganization in need of funding, labor effort, and access to operations space worldwide. Principal assets include 250 skids (that's jargon for pallet-loads) of shelfmakeable lumber in central Illinois where the owner wants possession of his space to develop a shopping mall.

The lumber should either be sold or advantageously donated to carpentry academies and other approriate users. Most of it can be made into thriftstore shelving (the no. 1 best neglected opportunity on the planet to achieve a halt to resource waste of every category-- most failures of thriftstores result from inadequate investment in shelving which would permit customers to find and select the goods they can reuse).

The worst pieces can be made into compost bins (see Maxpost). Thousands of smaller pieces can be made into office equipment, tool handles, birdhouses, education toys (see Essential Preschool Part 1) etc. Carpenters, manufacturers, educators, philanthropists are invited to seize the opportunity: maxwood@cabled.org
