Michelle Lougee is a very famous environmental artist, sculptor, and ceramist. She is a member of the Boston Sculptors Gallery, and her artwork has been shown in many New England museum exhibits. She also teaches sculpture, ceramics, pottery, and drawing to adults and children at various local museums. She holds an M.F.A and a B.F.A. from Boston University and lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her work focuses on the delicate balance between nature versus human society and technology. The contrast of this relationship is explored in both materials and subject matter. The combination of the two factions produce mysterious yet familiar forms. Michelle Lougee strives to replicate the animated quality that all living things possess. She believes that her job as an environmental artist is “to capture that beauty in my work while instilling a message into it.” Michelle Lougee uses a wide variety of naturally found materials from the environment. These materials are very banal. They include clay, papyrus, paper, cloth, plastic, post-consumer grocery bags, and plastic bags. Michelle Lougee’s signature material is the plastic bags as they are symbolic of the harmfulness brought to our environment. You can see her thorough incorporation of plastic bags in her Gyre

As The World Burns: 50 Simple Things You Can Do To Stay In Denial, by Derrick Jensen and Stephanie McMillan, is a graphic novel about the state of our environment. They use cartoons and abundant sarcasm to convey the message that the attempts people are making to save the environment are not enough to do any real good. Their message challenges both those of Edward O. Wilson and the University of Connecticut in that Jensen and McMillan’s ideas are much more radical and suggest that the ideas posed by Wilson and UConn, such as the importance of recycling and sustainability efforts, are ineffective at saving the environment. We must resolve the challenges posed by Jensen and McMillan so that all of the ideas put forth in the sources may work together rather than against each other. In order to do this we must accept that some of the ideas given by Jensen and McMillan may be too extreme to do any real good and that the ideas suggested by Wilson and UConn, though slightly ineffective, are nonetheless important steps in saving the environment. Taken alone, none of their ideas will save the environment; instead it is necessary to combine the ideas of Wilson, UConn, and Jensen and McMillan in order to create a more realistic plan to save the planet.

This project was completed in the period of two weeks in New York’s Central Park with the blooming of the 7,503 fabric panels on February 12, 2005. The gates and fabric panels could be seen from far away through the leafless branches of the trees (christojeanneclaude.net). The main purpose behind this artwork was to create a meaningful public art and how art responds to and impacts our relationship with the built environment (khanacademy.org). Through this work, fresh perspectives about environment, socio-political, and aesthetic characteristics of life are revelaed (home.nwciowa.edu). Environmental artworks of Christo and Jeanne Claude leave a lasting memory on every aspect of life

An experience that has greatly influenced my understanding of the world has been my participation in Florida Atlantic University’s Pine Jog Fellowship. The Pine Jog Fellowship is a three-semester program that focuses on environmental improvement and education. In the Pine Jog Fellowship I have had the opportunity to develop my own environmental service projects that would benefit my community. During one semester of my fellowship, I coordinated beach clean-ups for Lake Worth Beach. I recruited over sixty people and collectively, we recycled and threw away over one hundred pounds of trash off of Lake Worth Beach. I also spoke to local fishermen and educated them on the dangers of throwing monofilament fishing line into the ocean. During the

In Cenla's community there are limited resources that encourage recycling. At Louisiana State University at Alexandria there is often an overflow of recyclable goods that can be salvaged and re-purposed to benefit our community. We propose an affordable campus project, Recycle Rally, that networks students, teachers, and those in the community through volunteer recycle days and projects that use recycled materials as an art medium. Professors are encouraged to give assignments and extra credit to motivate students to volunteer for work days, as well as, participate themselves. After completing refurbished art projects, students will need support from the community to purchase recycled art, in order to offset the cost for bins, labor, and transportation. The benefits of implementing the program inspire students to care, network, and build within their community,

This past semester has left me thinking about reducing my consumption and improving my community. Reading A Conservationist Manifesto by Scott Russell Sanders has left an imprint on my views of how much Americans waste and how each individual can make a difference. Sanders also has made me realize the true definition of home. No matter where you come from there, one should never take their hometown for granted. Reading this book has made me appreciate where I came from.

All the shirts and posters Bonnaroo sells are all made out of organic cotton as well as hemp, and no trees are used at all. Even the concession stand items, toilet paper in the porta potties, and administrative paper they use is made from recycled goods. They do this to not only promote going green, but it is also a reminder to everyone for what they stand for and that’s not just outstanding music. Some of the waste management things the festival has implemented are its composting program as well as having WastAway handle and “recycle 250 tons of garbage”. The festivals composting program has “diverted approximately ten percent of the event’s total waste since its inception” and the festival organizers “expect to divert of 60 percent of this waste from landfills.”. This is something so simple they do, but yet it still has a massive impact on the environment because it’s not going into a landfill. With WastAways, they will take all of the 250 tons and use it to construct things that will be built for Bonnaroo, like benches and materials they can put to use in other ways. With these recycled benches, they will be able to show the festival-goers were all the recycled material goes and how it benefits making Bonnaroo better. Bonnaroo has also decided to convert to “over 250,000 gallons of biodiesel fuel (B100) to replace diesel for the non-stage generators” and lower their carbon footprint once again. Doing this will not only lower emissions the festival puts out but also helps the festival start to make the transition to smarter and more environmentally friendly options. All of these simple programs they have do not just show they are willing to do what’s

Sustainability is a broad and increasingly familiar topic in our culture. Sustainable farm-to-fork restaurants have sprung up all over the United States, urban gardening has become a popular habit for those living in the city, and numerous stores have recycling centers and ‘green’ products. What do these things have in common? Each example mentioned above helps resources last for future generations. Farm-to-fork restaurants support local agriculture, which supports dozens of plants growing and purifying the air and our environment. They also minimize fossil fuels released into the air from traveling long distances. Urban gardens help counteract city pollution. Recycling centers cut the amount of waste in landfills, and green products last longer

Other works of media have also argued about ways to live sustainably and give back to the environment. For example, Lauren Singer, who lives a zero waste life, has only collected one mason jar of trash over a course of three years. Although she may be leaving out some things in the jar, the jar still represents her attempt to better her community. She mentions cutting out plastic, paper and other material objects that we utilize on a day to day basis. Singer illustrates the future and simple everyday solutions that can contribute to the bigger picture.

By 2032, DC will meet it's goal of becoming zero-waste. Numerous sustainability efforts at both the business and city level are already underway. We only have one word of advice—activate.

INTRODUCTION: The act of recycling has been and is very influential around the world for the last decade, where global warming is not easily seen on news headline; strongly encouraged for all people, especially strongly advised to recycle in the United States. Recycling plastic and other reusable materials are a process that takes decades to have at least half of the world's population to get involved; however Nevada started to show advances to recycling, with investments from industries, universities or schools, and individuals. Hotels on the Las Vegas Strip and diverse population of students have promoted recycling exceedingly, which encouraged and still is encouraging out-of-state recycling industries to take a step further in recycling

At your request, here is the chapter summary of Zero Waste; from the Ray Anderson’s book, Confession of a Radical Industrialist. In the chapter “zero waste: the first face of mount sustainability” from the book Confession of Radical Industrialist by Ray Anderson (2009), argues that eliminating waste is about saving money as well as caring your surrounding. The author outlines helpful steps that can help in reducing waste. He also explains the role of leaders and employee in achieving the business goals on waste reduction.

recycling campaign. The only way to do that is to help make recycling appeal to more of the vast student population that currently attends our University. How might this be done? The University already places a recycling bin in every dorm room around the campus; anything more would exceed the current funding for the recycling project. Perhaps the institution of a recycling center at the Russell House could cause the impulse to become a habit. But, that would take too much money--with the salaries of workers and the annexing of what would amount to a new wing of the building--to consider for too long. Another solution could be to have the students elect a "recycling committee" to evaluate the problem and decide on the appropriate solution. However, I feel that with the current lull in our recycling campaign, even that would be ineffective. As an altrenative to these two solutions I propose that we, as students and faculty united, institute a plan that is so simple it is already in place in many of the high schools around the state. I propose a system of rewards.

II. Listener Relevance- The world we live in is slowly being torn down by water pollution, air pollution, land pollution. Surprisingly, a very simple thing such as recycling helps reduce all of these.
