The plastic-observing & square creating happens between August and October 2009, with opening events beginning in November 2009.

All artist participants live in observance of their plastic use for the same three-month time period. A plastic-observant lifestyle challenges you to refrain from purchasing items that are packaged in any sort of single-use plastic, including: to-go coffee lids, plastic cups or cutlery, water, prepackaged foods, soap, shampoo, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry soap, utensils...

Any plastic accumulated must not be trashed or recycled curbside (this helps you to see your patterns, and reminds you to find alternatives). Instead, keep it in a box, and from your collection, create a 12 " square! For ideas, see examples here.

If you have other ways you'd like to contribute, do not hesitate to be in touch and discuss!
