wash, dry, fold

Designer Sungwoo Park doesn’t think his idea solves the batteries issue, but I think he’s taken a big step towards some sort of a solution.

Oliver Bishop Young says dumpsters have a lot of potential to change how we interact with waste. He says salvaging material from dumpsters is already an unofficial art.

earlier this month he presented in London two projects dealing with dumpsters.

in the first one he proposed people exchange information about the content of their dumpsters so others could salvage items they need from them.

in the second project he converted empty dumpsters into public spaces such as skate parks, swimming pools and gardens.

this reminds me of a story I read as a child about an aligator who is mean to his friends and they all desert him and he goes off to live in the garbage disposal room. he converted it to a lovely home. i think it was by richard scarry, but i’m probably wrong, because i can’t find any refference to it.

there’s something i’ve been meaning to tell you.

i have a cat. her name is anna frank, but nobody calls her that, everybody calls her tuly.

she was named anna frank because at first, when she decided to adopt us, we still had two dogs (that’s for another post) and she used to live in a box behind the blinds. every time our dogs would come sniff the area, i would close the blinds and tell them there’s no one there. eventually we all lived happily together.

here she is in my red envirosax shopping bag:

look! Robert Bradford made a terrier out of clothes pegs.

He makes sculptures out of used toys and he’s even made a 6 meter high big ben out of coca cola cans.
