FRESH AIR
CLEAN OCEAN
What's up? I'm recycling, and I'm only here on MySpace to talk trash. Seriously. It's probably one of my favorite things to do - right next to reading the gossip and scandal magazines. I love to collect things, mainly things that others would throw away. Usually, people say "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Well, it couldn't be closer to the truth for me.
My treasures that I love to collect include things like: plastic cans and bottles, phone books, magazines, catalogs, newspaper, aerosol cans, used batteries and motor oil. I have a huge collection of these things, but I use them to make new things. So, I guess you can consider me a bit of an artist too. I also enjoy using coffee cans, shoe boxes, margarine containers, and other types of containers people throw away for various arts and crafts projects.
So, I've kind of noticed that some of the people I've met don't know my knack for collection, and tend to toss me aside. Maybe its because they don't see the resourcefulness of what I do, or they don't see how my use of trash can make new items. But, I've got some promise.
I've recently tried to take my efforts to the road, and I've found a publicist to help me through get some recognition for my ideas and work. The Natural Resources Defense Counsel has so far done a really good job showing people how I take waste and trash to make things beautiful again. Call me what you want, just don't be suprised if I talk trash.
