HGTV Hosts Team Up With Tucson Women's Shelter For A "Green" Re-Design

Refused items left for bulk trash pick-up on local Tucson neighborhood streets are being refurbished to furnish a local women's shelter all while saving the environment.

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) February 13, 2008 -- HGTV hosts Rick Rifle (Designing for the Sexes, Trading Spaces) and Kristin Casey (Freestyle, Mail Order Makeover) are teaming up with mother-daughter duo Jan Robinson and Heather Robinson (writers of Universal Pictures' film "The Perfect Man") to help give back to the community and to the environment. The group will highlight their resourceful approach to decorating and recycling by using refused items to furnish and re-design the "New Beginnings for women and children" shelter in Tucson on February 22nd and 23rd.

Robinson's explain, "We are hoping to show people that you don't have to be on the Forbes most powerful list to take action and give back to your own community. People throw away some terrific things and we're just doing our part to reduce the amount of waste in landfills and help Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing and Aftercare Programs along the way. The local community has certainly taken notice of this worthwhile opportunity. Kevin Cogley of Blarney Stone Contractors and Under Budget Cabinets have volunteered their time and materials to make this a success."
