Bottom Line Green - Part One

Most people know about recycling aluminum cans, newspapers and basic plastic products. But there are tons of other common items that end up in landfills, and entrepreneurs and activists are seizing that trash to turn it into financial treasure. In the first of a four part series called "Bottom Line: Green", Statehouse Bureau Chief Karen Kasler checks out what some are doing with furniture, fixtures and the leftovers from home fix-ups.

Rick Jackson is a senior host and producer at Ideastream Public Media. He hosts the "Sound of Ideas" on WKSU and "NewsDepth" on WVIZ.
