The art of recycling is very much like the art of giving. Every time we recycle it’s a contribution, a gesture creating positive energy. Now that recycling is available in Mears Park, we share a common trust to use it well. The same can be said of the gifts. We trust the community will be good stewards of both the gifts and Mears Park.
We’ve created these art objects for the people living and working near Mears Park. In the spirit of recycling, these gifts are meant to be given as many times as possible to reach as many people as we can. The gifts started their journey in June 2009, and we hope they will circulate until 2010.
If you’ve received a gift, tell us that you got it by logging an entry. If you haven’t received a gift yet, track them here as they go through the neighborhood.
