But could that principle extend to doctors treating patients?

Palleroni partnered with a local non-profit called The Green Project, which has operated as a materials exchange for everything from paint to wrought iron for over 12 years. "We're roadkill specialists," says David Reynolds, executive director of The Green Project, who adds that the mold can usually be sanded or wiped off before the wood gets reused.
