"Waste Stream"
Wall Hanging by Mary Anne Enriquez 2009
Wherever there are humans, there is unwanted debris found in urban, industrial, suburban, agricultural, and "pristine" wilderness regions. Fishermen might leave behind lead sinkers, nylon fishing line, food and drink cans in "natural areas." Unresponsible campers, tourists, highway litterers, the homeless, just plain people like you and me, children…its impossible not to create waste that can wind up in public places. Mankind’s waste leaches chemicals into the soil – ultimately into rivers, lakes, and oceans –affecting us all.
I spent 1 year saving "trash" in and around my own daily life. Mostly the trash is my own, but a little bit is from the street, waste receptacles, or on the sidewalk. I then encased this colorful often recognizable detritus and created fish.
Fish are an indicator species of how unhealthy our water and environment is. Water is a carrier of waste from long distances a way. Water is absolutely necessary to all life on earth. The play on words "waste stream" is to make the viewer think about how our daily lives affect the entire planet.
Materials used:
– steel office staples & clear vinyl… encapsulate advertising, popular culture, artifact, and unwanted waste.
– tree branch – a highly invasive non-native shrub called European Buckthorn, Rhamnus Cathartica, was cut down by the Forest Preserve of Cook County Illinois. I found it in a restoration pile of branches along a roadside.
– lead sinkers, and nylon fishing line (both poison/ kill a large amount of wildlife each year)
Materials used to stuff the fish:
– paper ( magazines, junk mail, office waste, newspapers etc)
– cardboard packaging, (cereal boxes and food packaging)
– plastic of all kinds
– candy wrappers
– wood and metal "found" objects
Show is up until July 31, 2009 in Hammond, Indiana.

Waste Oil Fuel Saves Darius and Son From Being Attacked by a Pack of Angry Lions!
Darius and his family loved their annual family trip to Africa. Every year, Darius, his wife Oprah, and their son Marshall would fly to South Africa to visit their relatives and drive through the wilderness in their Land Rover. Darius was proud of his African-American roots, and he wanted to make sure his son experienced the culture and heritage of his native South Africa. In addition, the three of them also were able to spend time with Oprah’s parents, who spent their entire lives in their homeland.
Their flight was a week away, and everyone was ready to go. Darius was paying the airline a lot of money to have their Land Rover shipped over ahead of time, but being able to take those rides through the jungle was worth it. And to help save on the fuel costs, Darius filled two large containers of Bio-Diesel fuel that he makes himself at home using the diesel secret energy method. Darius helps stop can oil waste and oil recycle waste by developing his own diesel fuel, so he shipped some extra along with the Land Rover!
The three of them landed safely in South Africa, and after picking up their vehicle and their luggage, they drove over to Oprah’s parent’s house in South Africa. Marshall couldn’t wait to take that drive through the wilderness, so the next morning, they all drove out into the nearest savannah to view the gazelles and hyenas and lions and tigers! It was going to be an exciting trip!
But their trip quickly turned from excitement to fear, as their Land Rover ran out of fuel in the middle of the savannah! And to make matters worse, their cell phones were out of service, and there were four hungry lions surrounding them!
Darius was running out of options, until he remembered the two containers that he filled with the veggie waste oil fuel and put in the back of the vehicle! He said a prayer, reached behind the back seat … and thankfully, they were still there!
Darius came up with a plan. He was going to stick his head out the driver side window and yell for a quick moment so that he would draw the attention of the lions to his side of the car – and meanwhile, Oprah would open the back passenger window, reach down to the gas tank, and pour in a bit of the oil fuel so that the could drive back to safety!
It was a long-shot, but the plan worked to perfection, and Oprah was able to pour in some of the Veggie Waste Oil fuel while the lions were distracted on the other side of the car! Darius started up the engine, and they just had barely enough fuel to get them back to safety! Their family was saved, thanks to Veggie Waste Oil fuel!
Paul Simari: http://www.GreenMachineNJ.com along with other Americans are fed up with the high cost of oil prices and are currently proactive in making their own Veggie Waste Oil as an alternative to Diesel. This is not a joke, with the help of a natural additive; we are able to produce cleaner burning fuel for our Diesel burning engines/Vehicles and in our Home Heating Furnaces. You can produce this fuel for less than $.50 per gallon and help save our planet from Global Warming!
