10 Basic Common Examples of Hybrid Sustainable Recycling Techniques Cont.~
As previously stated in our last page, all Hybrid Sustainability Techniques are dictated by the goal or purpose combined with best renewable supply of appropriate available material for y(our) budget, environment, household and community, conservation of resources, health, project and/or area... Keeping this, along with all the Keys and Rules of Holistic Hybrid Sustainability we have discussed in mind, the Examples and Techniques that follow are some that I believe to be some of the best Alternative Materials and Processes that I am aware of, have some experience with and could possibly offer.

Free resources Can be in plentiful supply depending on the vision. Though the purpose or supply might determine which is better suited for your project, the same basic building Techniques presented apply for the most part, to most of them; and are adjust to the materials and conditions.
For example, one must remember that tin cans tend to rust eventually, not making tin a good choice for working with Adobe as a building block as it wouldn't stand up like aluminum.
At the same time, the rust of the tin may be appealing to the eye on the outside of the roof, an old shed, garage, chicken coop or out house... And the inside of a pool house, porch, bar or bathroom. While utilizing the right size or type of can could uniquely shed a little light on the situation and/or organize that work space. If you can find one big enough and you could build you a shed or shelter.

Aluminum despite being opaque has proven that like glass and plastic it produces Thermal Energy and Can be a great resource for building Solar Panels and the production of Heat... For those who are planning a project(s) in cool or cold climates.
Scrap Metal is plentiful and the different types of structures or homes resulting from the recycling or re-purposing it, are truly amazing; from Storage Containers and Grain Bins to Trains and Planes... We are only limited by our imaginations, the properties of our chosen medium or material and climate or location. Like is using metal around snow and ice really smart when it would retain the cold and bare skin can stick to frozen metal so easily?
Speaking of the ice factor, when building a metal roof that slants on an angle and in a climate where it may accumulate snow or ice; one should always place spikes on the roof in an upright position in intervals to keep that snow and ice from sliding off in sheets that could possibly bury one or cut one, possibly causing one or others serious injury. I must say, I do not see many metal roofs that are properly constructed for their climates these days.
If your a Do It Yourselfer keep in mind you might just need some experience with a cutting torch or welder depending on the type of metal your working with. Y(our) Tools and Techniques for construction might change and adjust to the purpose, material and desired appearance or result. Understanding the process of any type of assembly, building or construction gives one insight into the next process or technique.
