Reuse and Repurpose! Saving the seats!





What do you do when you inherit over 800 movie theater seats that are bolted to the floor? Do you pay to have them dumped in a landfill? Not if you are the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School! Instead of adding to the mountains of waste on this planet, we gathered alumni, staff, family and friends to a "seat-loosening" party. Everyone came armed with drills and screw guns and knee pads and worked all day to unbolt every seat from the concrete. Then, throughout the week, different groups and individuals came and took some seats, repurposing them for use in other theaters or in their homes. Some are still waiting to go into an on-site trailer (special thanks to Bruce MacGregor for donating the trailer). If you want any, come and get them!
