New Show: Renovation Angel

Today we finished recording a great segment with their founder and Ex-Director, Steve Feldman.  Steve and his team keep millions of pounds of home fixtures out of landfills, across the US, while raising millions of dollars for charities.  Talk about a triple-bottom line win.  We love it.

Here's some advance info on Renovation Angels.
