Packard Jennings – The Pocket Survival Guide

Participants are invited to meet at SoEx for a 20-minute workshop to fold instructional pamphlets on how to devise an emergency raft out of recycled product packaging in case of a catastrophic flood- a consequence of consumer waste and mass production that contributes to pollution, and global warming.

Once the Pocket Survival Guides are folded, participants will enter various stores and install them on consumer products to replicate “instant savings coupons.” Future customers will be happy to find their household purchases subverted by public art!

Pocket Survival Guide is also in NYC through Dec 19th, 2009

It is estimated that four out of ten households are still not recycling their waste and the most common reason given is that people say they find recycling confusing.

The most common complaint people have is that there is no clear advice on what can be recycled. And it is made or the worse by different local authorities recycling different items, so what is classed as a recyclable waste in one county is not in another.

But the truth of the matter is pretty much everything can be recycled and it just depends on what recycling facilities are available in your local area for you to know what can beplaced in the recycling bin.

The best place to start is to ask the local council if they have a recycling scheme. Most do and you will find they probably have a regular collection scheme and they will most likely provide you with a recycling bin or carton to store the material in. What can go in these recycling bins is dependent on the local authority and its resources. They will normally provide you with a list of the type of materials they can take and the sort of stuff they can’t.

When you separate the material that can be recycled it is a good idea to wash anything that is soiled or might smell such as old cat food tins or milk bottles and remember to check labels on plastics and tin cans to check if they are the correct type as not plastics and metals are recycled everywhere. A recycling bin wil make things easier.

If you wish to get adventurous you can start thinking about ways to home recycle such as composting your kitchen waste or turning your waste intro something useful such as turning waste paper into fuel with a logmaker.
