Why use recycled materials when we could use brand new ones???
• When you use 100% post-consumer recycled paper vs. brand new paper:– 4 tons LESS wood (26 trees)– 11 million BTU’s LESS energy
• (British Thermal Unit= Heat Energy)
– 2,068 pounds LESS hazardous air pollutants– 11,218 LESS gallons water used– 751 LESS pounds of solid waste produced– http://paper-newt.org/paper-neutrality/recycled-vs-n

Why use recycled materials when we could use brand new ones???
• Sometimes, even recyclables end up where they shouldn’t, like in oceans or landfills.

Trash Island
• Alison Teal: Originally visited the Maldives for a Discovery Channel show, and decided to return to the area with the goal of cleaning while raising awareness about plastic pollution.
• With permission from the country's government, Teal and her crew documented the Maldives' Trash Island, also known as Thilafushi.
• Only a few miles away from the Maldivian capital of Malé, Thilafushi is an artificial island and acts as one of the country's main landfills. About 300 to 400 tons of trash are dumped on the island every day.

construction paper that end up in the trash!• What if we used those scrap pieces to make
something beautiful?• Russian Artist Yulia Brodskaya’s beautiful

of income for people in this village• Paddy fields take up over 50% of this village’s land• Strains of rice in this village are over 2,000 years
old• Started as a tourist attraction (other villages soon
followed suit but this was the original village to develop this unique art form.

Rice Paddy Art
• No artificial colorings are used; the colors come from the different varieties of rice– Tsugaru Roman rice = green– Yukiasobi rice = white – Beniasobi rice = red. – Other ancient strains of rice are used for purple
and yellow.

Rice Paddy Art
• These are first designed on a computer and then manually planted and harvested to maintain the design
• To be seen accurately, these need to be seen from a distance and from above, so observation decks have been build as part of the tour.

Artist Statement: 7 Days of Garbage, Gregg Segal
• “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wondered about garbage-where does it go and what happens when we run out of places to put it? The average American generates 4 pounds of garbage a day. As a nation, we generate 4 million tons of waste, weekly. I’m concerned not only by how much we throw away, but by how blithe we are to the problem.
![Page 42: Recycled Art!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062709/559264fe1a28ab29128b477a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Artist Statement Continued
• “In January, I set out to create pictures that make the trash problem impossible to ignore. I asked family, friends, neighbors and other acquaintances to save their trash and recyclables for a week and then to lie down and be photographed in it. I included my family because I want my 7-year-old son to understand that we’re contributing to the problem, too. I asked people to include their recycles for several reasons: much of what is designated recyclable is not recycled, recycling plastic has environmental costs, and packaging is excessive.
![Page 43: Recycled Art!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062709/559264fe1a28ab29128b477a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Artist Statement Continued
• “I’ve created three environments for the pictures, all in my yard in Altadena, CA: water, forest and beach. I photograph participants directly from above, camera centered over the subject, tethered to my computer below. I will continue the series, creating other environments…snow tundra, rocky outcropping, field of wildflowers, etc. My aim is to illustrate how pervasive garbage is.

Artist Statement Continued
• “By asking us to look at ourselves, I’ve found that some are considering the issue more deeply. Many have said the process of saving their garbage and then laying in it reconciled them to a need for change. Others have commented how powerless they feel. What can any one of us do? It isn’t our fault that the products we buy come with excessive packaging and have brief life spans. Our economic model and its necessity for growth fuels the waste epidemic-and makes conservation seem untenable.

Artist Statement Continued
• “Still, some of us are making small steps to mitigate the crisis. Reflecting on the pictures I’ve made so far, I see 7 Days of Garbage as instant archeology, a record not only of our waste but of our values- values that may be evolving a little.”

Voltaire’s Candide
• “Let us cultivate our garden”• Smalls steps make a difference• Do what you can with what is within your reach • Even if you don’t see an immediate difference
in your environment or the larger community around you, it doesn’t mean your actions aren’t having an impact!
• Cognitive dissonance
