There were teachers waiting outside the door when The Welman Project in Fort Worth opened at noon on Wednesday.
The building is stocked with surplus and discontinued items that might have been bound for a landfill."My co-founder and I notice a lack of resources in our schools and an abundance of waste going into our landfills," The Welman Project Co-Founder and Creative Director Vanessa Barker said."So we're trying to tackle these two big issues of waste generated by businesses and lack of resources for teachers with one crazy solution, and that's creative reuse.
There are signs everywhere stating the philosophy. There are also cheery helpers on hand, ready to make teachers' creative visions a reality. "You see the lightbulbs going off across a lot of teachers' faces in this building," Crowley Middle School teacher Kristin Johnson said."Because it's like we get to come here and kinda be students.""Saving the Earth and the environment, and get to fill a void for us too and get free supplies," Johnson said.
