bar recycling

A friend just sent me this message regarding our upcoming reUSEABLE project:

"One thing I've really noticed is that the bars around here don't have recycling. Think of all those bottles... I know people get drunk and probably wouldn't always pay attention not to throw trash in the recycling, but past a certain time at night all the waste in there is plastic cups or glass bottles. Just a suggestion as one of the goals."

While it might be a little late in the game to incorporate this aspect of campus recycling into our actual exhibit, she makes an excellent point. Does being drunk excuse you from doing what you can to help the environment by trying to be a little less wasteful? And is there any way to do anything about this, or is it a lost cause?

Facebook action!

If any of you are Facebook inclined, we invite you to take a moment and join out reuseABILITY group!

Interested in seeing more of the upcoming even reuseABILITY? Here's a look at our soon-to-be exhibit space--the atrium of UMd's ArtSoc building:



And keep an eye on these areas, because you'll see some super promotional pieces appearing here during the coming week!:

informational exhibit experience

Now more than ever we must all be aware of our individual impact on our environment, and it has to begin with you. 

Waste management is a critical environmental issue that must be dealt with now. Luckily, it's fun and easy to find new ways to reuse items you might otherwise consider trash, and the University of Maryland design team is here to show you how! 

Within the next month we'll be assembling an interactive exhibit on the College Park campus, so if you're in the area, be sure to keep an eye out! We promise, you won't be able to miss us! If you're not lucky enough to see our work first-hand, check back here for great reuseABLE ideas and activities so you can take part, too.
