The book, Weintraub, Linda To life! Eco art in pursuit of a sustainable planet, opened my eyes as a reminder to take better care of our environment and as an educator, I feel obligated to share my concerns. I have run miles and miles on the same dirt roads for 20 years. In that time, streets and houses have been built, oil rigs pop up overnight, but I usually observe the bunnies, sunrises, clouds, and plants. I never paid much attention to the litter, but after reading Weintrab’s book, everywhere I look is another pile of trash, especially plastic waste. I have planned the project to show the amount of trash in our community, direct students to create art about plastic waste, and provoke inquisitive thinking from faculty, staff, and students.
