TRASH: anycoloryoulike

Garbage is just part of the everyday scene in New York. Just some gray bags containing everyone's trash.
But the casual gray bag isn't safe anymore. Well, at least if we should believe a New York visual artist who goes by the name of Adrian. Take a look at his vision on the garbage bag.



Block by block he goes through NY to hand out the pink, polka dotted bags with the request to use them instead of the gray ones.
And apparently the New Yorkers dig it!


On the left there's a flick taken in West End and on the right there's SoHo.
Adrian considers TRASH: anycoloryoulike an art project, with the goal of linking the environment and art. Since garbage bags are a part of the environment in NYC I can only conclude he managed to link the two in a very good manner.
One last note, the bags are made entirely out of biodegradable materials.

Things I love: Seed Gun

I found this over at threemiles.com

"THE SIMPLE ACT
Over time and with the appropriate amount of nurturing, the simple act of planting a seed can create life; sustenance and beauty. Applying a dedication to the act, or prayer, we can unite the audience and promote a discussion for change. With our literal sowing of these "swords into plowshares" we visually eliminate the violence from our community and pay respect to the lives lost and affected... And in nurturing the "piece" to flower or fruition we are then committed to change and at the same time giving something back to the community."

Mama, put my guns in the ground!

Be excellent to each other.

Syntroleum: Part II

I hope he replies, I'd love to know more.

Here's A Pretty Thing.

This is the Magenn Air Rotor, from LiftportEnergy.com.
It is essentially a power generating balloon.
The Air Rotor spins in the breeze, generating friction. That friction rotates a generator within the Rotor, which produces energy, which is in turn sent down the tether to a battery below, or directly onto the power grid.
Works day and night, low wind and high, and is bird and bug friendly. It is also completely silent.

Every house should have one.

Fossil fuels are so yesterday.

High Torque Air Rotors are so now.

Hip hop hooray!

Day One! (give or take)

Hooray!
The first day of Superforest!
This is a place to come when you feel like hope is lost, as Superforest is a catalogue of people and organizations working hard to improve life for everyone.
Today I am getting my computer set up, trying to figure out how exactly my "work flow" is going to operate, and dusting.
Lots and lots of dusting.

It is good to work hard at achieving ones goals.

Lots of Love,

Jackson and Friends
