Remember
when Captain Planet said, “The power is yours!”? Now that the cheesy 1990s
cartoon phrase is over we can get down to business. Building Value is a
nonprofit reuse enterprise that specializes in building materials. The
materials, some donated and others salvaged from the landfill, are resold to
the public. Building Value also provides transitional employment to people with
disadvantages and disabilities. To celebrate Cincinnati and environmental
consciousness, Building Value is throwing their third annual ReUse-apalooza.
The event is a night to focus on the reuse of materials and sustainability
within the community that includes music from Messerly and Ewing, a silent
auction featuring projects made from Building Value materials and more eclectic
entertainment. There will be a free after-party at Northside Tavern. $20
general admission, $50 VIP. 7-11 p.m. 4040 Spring Grove Ave., Northside.
513-475-6783, buildingvalue.org.
