They dont just tear it down and throw the scraps away. And concrete. Its only rock and cement. If something is reclaimable its concrete. You sounds just like one of those people that complains only becouse they are able to. I really hope that you return and read this. To Robert DeLaPlaza

That is what has this planet on the brink of extinction... WASTE ! That is why mankind is doomed, unless we change our ways.
