So, it’s refusing, it's getting to the point of saying no, I'm not going to use disposable plastic in my life and if we as consumers shift that, then I think those who make things that we buy will shift as well. So, it’s about shifting perspective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The use of inflatable plastic sculptures comes with its own headaches. Strong winds require the use of sandbags to hold the bottle and cup in place. Visitors tend to poke and prod the sculptures, requiring the artists to politely ask them to back away. And on a sunny afternoon, the heat demands the artists re-inflate the works using a rather loud air pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appearance of “Natural Plasticity” in Pershing Square was made possible through funding from \u003ca href=\"http://doartfoundation.org/\">Do Art Foundation\u003c/a>, RVCC, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sharkallies.com/\">Shark Allies\u003c/a> and support by the City of LA Department of Recreation and Parks.

Using post-consumer recycled plastic, they created two large inflatable sculptures, each about the size of a school bus. One is shaped like a simple plastic bottle.

LaPenta said the goal is to head west along the L.A. River, mimicking the journey of plastic trash toward the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because that's a huge problem, that everything's being flushed out to the ocean. And we're not really being responsible,” LaPenta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The artists cite Claes Oldenburg, the sculptor who turns ink stamps, shuttlecocks and ice cream cones into public art, as a major influence on their work. They also credit Chinese dissident artist and activist Ai Weiwei as a political influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cruder said her awareness of disposable plastic began after the couple watched a documentary called \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7X-J1DhfjE\">\u003cem>Plastic Planet\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, a 14-country tour of plastic manufacturing and health dangers associated with products made of synthetic polymers. Later, during hikes through national parks, the couple would see plastic trash thrown everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was her personal health that really moved Cruder to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mother had breast cancer most of my life and when she passed away, I did a ton of research to make sure that I don't get breast cancer,” Cruder says. “And one of the things that I learned was about plastic and how it affects women specifically, our endocrine systems. And from that awareness, this choice in eradication of plastic out of my life happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Policy activists say the amount of plastic that ends up in our oceans has created a public health crisis. Visual artist Dianna Cohen runs Plastic Pollution Coalition, a global alliance of NGOs and businesses. She came out to the park to see the artwork herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people have heard of the \u003ca href=\"http://education.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/\">Great Pacific Garbage Patch\u003c/a>. Well, we’ve got multiple garbage patches in all five major oceans in the world,” Cohen said. “We’re not saying that they’re islands of plastic, we’re saying the entire ocean has become a plastic soup.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen says public art like this can actually change people’s behavior. “To me, what this does is, it’s in your face,” Cohen said. “And the thing about it is, we become immune to seeing this stuff. If you drive home tonight, you’ll see it along the side of the road. You know, you’ll see it everywhere. And people don’t even pick it up anymore because there’s so much of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10937347\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10937347\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS19249_Guina_Elvis_Image_1-qut.jpg\" alt=\"The artists built the sculptures out of post-consumer recycled plastic.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS19249_Guina_Elvis_Image_1-qut.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS19249_Guina_Elvis_Image_1-qut-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS19249_Guina_Elvis_Image_1-qut-800x451.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS19249_Guina_Elvis_Image_1-qut-1180x665.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS19249_Guina_Elvis_Image_1-qut-960x541.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The artists built the sculptures out of post-consumer recycled plastic. \u003ccite>(Guina Elvis)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The artwork also resonated with Eric Gharakhanian, who happened upon it while walking through downtown. He thinks projects like “Natural Plasticity” may lead people to rethink their use of disposable plastic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it'll make people more conscious of it, because it seems all too common to just see like a bottle on the ground. And to sort of have that like in such a magnified and large form, I think it might make people consider that,” Gharakhanian said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gharakhanian said he didn’t realize at first that the objects are meant to draw attention to how much of this plastic ends up in the oceans. That’s why the artists say they need to be present with the art, to help make that connection and suggest ways to reduce the use of disposable plastic.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We’re not saying that they’re islands of plastic, we’re saying the entire ocean has become a plastic soup.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“I’m sorry guys, recycling doesn’t work, because we're producing way more than we can ever recycle, and we're exporting our recyclables,” Cruder said. “Other countries don't really know what to do with it. So, it’s refusing, it's getting to the point of saying no, I'm not going to use disposable plastic in my life and if we as consumers shift that, then I think those who make things that we buy will shift as well. So, it’s about shifting perspective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The use of inflatable plastic sculptures comes with its own headaches. Strong winds require the use of sandbags to hold the bottle and cup in place. Visitors tend to poke and prod the sculptures, requiring the artists to politely ask them to back away. And on a sunny afternoon, the heat demands the artists re-inflate the works using a rather loud air pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appearance of “Natural Plasticity” in Pershing Square was made possible through funding from \u003ca href=\"http://doartfoundation.org/\">Do Art Foundation\u003c/a>, RVCC, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sharkallies.com/\">Shark Allies\u003c/a> and support by the City of LA Department of Recreation and Parks. After the sculptures reach the Pacific Ocean, the artists want to keep it moving. Their next stops could include Yosemite, Sequoia & Kings Canyon and other national parks fighting the onslaught of plastic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can see “Natural Plasticity” on display in Los Angeles at Griffith Park on Saturday, April 30, and Elysian Park on Sunday, May 1st.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10937300/l-a-exhibit-makes-disposable-plastic-trash-impossible-to-ignore","authors":["byline_news_10937300"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_223","news_19906","news_8","news_356"],"tags":["news_4265","news_17032","news_4","news_17286"],"featImg":"news_10937309","label":"news_72"},"arts_10773353":{"type":"posts","id":"arts_10773353","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"arts","id":"10773353","score":null,"sort":[1434646854000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"chinese-born-artist-ma-li-makes-treasure-from-trash","title":"Chinese-Born Artist Ma Li Makes Treasure from Trash","publishDate":1434646854,"format":"video","headTitle":"Chinese-Born Artist Ma Li Makes Treasure from Trash | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":610,"site":"arts"},"content":"\u003cp>In Ma Li’s hands, clear plastic bottles transform into suspended fields of jellyfish-like sculptures, and colored foam and clothes hangers resemble migrating flocks of birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With references to Chinese history, ecological concerns, ritual and fantasy, the Bay Area-based visual and performance artist weaves unlikely materials into large-scale immersive environments, and brings them to life with choreographed movements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent artist residency at Recology, San Francisco’s municipal waste company, provided powerful fodder for Ma’s natural inclination to accumulate materials from unlikely sources. “The giant pile of trash is to me a treasure mountain,” she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up in China in the 1980s, when poverty was widespread, primed the artist for scavenging. “Watching people repurpose old objects and materials was really inspiring, and in my blood,” Ma says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ma’s colorful, suspended sculptures are full of whimsy. \u003cem>Meet You at the Bird Bridge in the Milky Way\u003c/em>, an installation marking the end of her time at Recology, was inspired by a Chinese folktale of the Cow Herder and the Weaver Maid.

(Peter Kaminski/Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"color: #444444\">Currently, Oakland residents pay their garbage bills through \u003ca href=\"https://www.wm.com/facility.jsp?zip=94611\">Waste Management\u003c/a> of Alameda County: $29.80 a month for single-family homes and $474.20 for 20-unit buildings. The City Council voted Wednesday night to award a new garbage contract to \u003ca href=\"http://www.calwaste.com/\">California Waste Solutions\u003c/a>, and Oakland residents can expect their garbage bills to increase by next year. Here are 10 things you should know about the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003col style=\"color: #444444\">\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\"> The City Council has spent three years and $1 million in consulting fees to decide on a new garbage contract. Despite the city’s efforts to attract competitive bids, only two bidders went for the contract: California Waste Solutions and Waste Management.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">Both CWS and Waste Management currently serve Oakland. Waste Management collects the city’s trash and residential compost, along with handling residential recycling in East Oakland. They also run a transfer station for waste processing and an East Bay landfill. CWS is currently in charge of residential recycling for around half of the city, but does not have a facility to sort trash yet.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">CWS proposed a 10-year plan in which single-family rates would increase 24 percent to $36.82 per month, and the rates on 20-unit buildings would increase 15 percent to $546.97 per month. Waste Management proposed four rate tables, and city staff initially urged the council to go through with a Waste Management proposal that would have increased rates by 50 percent. However, the company reduced its price, and Waste Management staff recommended their rate option C, which is only $1.89 more than the CWS proposal.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">Although the CWS proposal is cheaper, the 10-year contract does allow rate increases that may be higher than anticipated from 2016 through 2019. Also, some critics say that since the company doesn’t have as much experience as Waste Management, it may not be able to get the resources in time to do the job when the contract begins, in addition to the potential for the company to request expenses and rate hikes in the future.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">CWS is based in West Oakland, whereas Waste Management is based in Houston.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">The rate increases include services like curbside bulky pickup, which gives tenants in multi-family homes a way to get rid of bulky pieces like furniture and mattresses instead of illegally dumping them.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">Waste Management has held a garbage contract with the city for over a century. CWS started collecting a share of the city’s recycling more than 10 years ago, and has never had a residential garbage contract before.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">California Waste Solutions has agreed to partner with \u003ca href=\"http://www.cvcorps.org/\">Civicorps\u003c/a> a nonprofit that runs organics collection services and trains and employs Oakland high school dropouts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">Many think it’s time for a rate increase.

(Peter Kaminski/Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"color: #444444\">Currently, Oakland residents pay their garbage bills through \u003ca href=\"https://www.wm.com/facility.jsp?zip=94611\">Waste Management\u003c/a> of Alameda County: $29.80 a month for single-family homes and $474.20 for 20-unit buildings. The City Council voted Wednesday night to award a new garbage contract to \u003ca href=\"http://www.calwaste.com/\">California Waste Solutions\u003c/a>, and Oakland residents can expect their garbage bills to increase by next year. Here are 10 things you should know about the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003col style=\"color: #444444\">\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\"> The City Council has spent three years and $1 million in consulting fees to decide on a new garbage contract. Despite the city’s efforts to attract competitive bids, only two bidders went for the contract: California Waste Solutions and Waste Management.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">Both CWS and Waste Management currently serve Oakland. Waste Management collects the city’s trash and residential compost, along with handling residential recycling in East Oakland. They also run a transfer station for waste processing and an East Bay landfill. CWS is currently in charge of residential recycling for around half of the city, but does not have a facility to sort trash yet.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">CWS proposed a 10-year plan in which single-family rates would increase 24 percent to $36.82 per month, and the rates on 20-unit buildings would increase 15 percent to $546.97 per month. Waste Management proposed four rate tables, and city staff initially urged the council to go through with a Waste Management proposal that would have increased rates by 50 percent. However, the company reduced its price, and Waste Management staff recommended their rate option C, which is only $1.89 more than the CWS proposal.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">Although the CWS proposal is cheaper, the 10-year contract does allow rate increases that may be higher than anticipated from 2016 through 2019. Also, some critics say that since the company doesn’t have as much experience as Waste Management, it may not be able to get the resources in time to do the job when the contract begins, in addition to the potential for the company to request expenses and rate hikes in the future.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">CWS is based in West Oakland, whereas Waste Management is based in Houston.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">The rate increases include services like curbside bulky pickup, which gives tenants in multi-family homes a way to get rid of bulky pieces like furniture and mattresses instead of illegally dumping them.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">Waste Management has held a garbage contract with the city for over a century. CWS started collecting a share of the city’s recycling more than 10 years ago, and has never had a residential garbage contract before.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">California Waste Solutions has agreed to partner with \u003ca href=\"http://www.cvcorps.org/\">Civicorps\u003c/a> a nonprofit that runs organics collection services and trains and employs Oakland high school dropouts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">Many think it’s time for a rate increase. It has been 15 years since the last garbage rate hike in Oakland.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">The city’s current garbage contract expires June 2015. The new contract will go into effect July 2015.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/144826/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-oaklands-garbage-rate-increase","authors":["237"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_4265","news_5798","news_18","news_6795"],"affiliates":["news_1983"],"featImg":"news_144827","label":"news_6944"},"news_94695":{"type":"posts","id":"news_94695","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"94695","score":null,"sort":[1366324483000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"strike-delays-garbage-pickup-in-parts-of-alameda-santa-clara-counties","title":"Strike Delays Garbage Pickup in Parts of Alameda, Santa Clara Counties","publishDate":1366324483,"format":"aside","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>A strike has disrupted garbage pickup in Milpitas, Santa Clara, San Jose, Fremont and Union City, and might affect Richmond as well.
