14 DAY TRIAL // Vintage boutique Co-Op 28 in Los Angeles, US is greener than most people would think it to be. Thus, the storefront sign set up at its entrance was not made in some workshop or factory, but was pieced together by artist Keri Rosebrough, who used about 6,000 pieces of trash to create it.
According to Earth 911, the artist did not even have to search long and hard to find the bits and pieces of trash that make up this eco-friendly storefront sign.
On the contrary, Keri Rosenbraugh, who now lives in Los Angeles, found some of the trash while talking her dog out for walkies. Others of the materials she used were actually donated by other folks living in the city.
“This project was something that everybody could get involved in, because every person generates trash. I am inspired by how many people in my community came together and actually got excited to participate,” Keri explains.
Furthermore, “Kids kept pointing out their old toothbrushes, soda cans and other objects they donated, smiling once they found them on the sign.”
As if using trash to make a storefront sign were not green enough, Keri Rosenbraugh resorted to an eco-friendly glue dubbed Big Stretch to make the tissue boxes, the toothbrushes, the aluminum cans and whatever others items she used stick together on plywood.
