For six months, the school’s office has not sent any garbage to landfills. Organic waste is composted, glass/paper/plastic are recycled, but everything else is now turned into “trash balls”. Trash is shredded, wrapped in plastic bags, then encapsulated in cloth, or painted cardboard/canvas. Pictured is a red sweater trash ball, and a gray trash-buckyball. Other variants including trash blocks, a fun-unlike-soccer ball, and a party ball (!) are now spreading throughout the building. Click for a larger image >>
