You know those banners you see hanging from lampposts around the ASU campus? The ones advertising upcoming events, or promoting the Sun Devils?

Jim Hodges is employment development center manager for The Centers for Habilitation (TCH) in Tempe, which provides services to people with disabilities.
TCH is involved in the process of turning the old banners into totes. Hodges explained how this creative resuse got started.
