Trash To Facts!

The Festivity is now entering its second week of the festival, so I hope everyone has noticed the "Green Team's" lovely and informative additions to the space. We have constructed various decorative elements from recycled materials which incorporate various facts and figures regarding our environmental impact.

The Lounge at the Robert Moss Theater for instance has an entire wall devoted to the plastic industry and reasons we should rethink our dependency on plastic. We utilized green hangers donated from Materials for the Arts, and re-purposed them to display small containers which now contain information pertaining to the impact of plastic.

Directly beneath this display is our Book Swap! If there is anything on the shelf that catches your eye feel free to bring in one of those long lost reads in the back of your closet and switch it out for a "pre-loved" one. I had my eye on a Jonathan Safran Foer Novel I haven't had the chance to read.

Over at the Gene Frankel we have a beautiful display focused on H20 usage, and spreading awareness of how to save every drop we can. Did you know by putting a closed empty plastic container in your toilet's tank you can help minimize your water use? This way your also re-purposing a plastic container! There is so much useful information out there, and every tiny choice makes a difference. Against the wall we also have re-purposed some carpet samples (also donated from Materials for The Arts) as displays which focus on New York's environmental impact. Additionally there is a vertical banner highlighting all the ways you can recycle or reuse all of your old electronics. This was made out of discarded computer paper and images cut from magazines. I'm pretty sure it's official that VHS tapes have gone out of style, so you might as well make good use of them! All of our displays are re-purposed or recyclable materials. It's truly amazing how you can transform items you otherwise would have disposed of.

Have you noticed the large multi-colored light fixture in the lounge? Next time you're in the lounge check it out and see if you can you guess what it was made of or how that was constructed.
