Plastic Plague


Far out at sea and deep in the nation's heartland, experts are discovering the disturbing consequences of a hitchhiker in our waters---plastic. On the remote islands in the Pacific, a team of researchers is trying to solve the mystery of why albatross chicks with full bellies are starving. Many miles away another team is finding more plastic than plankton in giant garbage patch of ocean called the North Pacific Gyre. Could these two events be related? What's equally worrisome, is the menacing wake plastic pollution leaves on fresh water and consequently, our health. Scientists in Missouri are finding a gender-bending chemical called bisphenol A in local streams who's source may be plastics. They are also finding this nasty compound leaching out of commonly used plastic products (including baby bottles).

The terminology of the waste is an issue itself and was fiercely debated in at the Honolulu Conference. If marine life if poisoned, so too is human life. It is traditionally the work of the artist to bring to reality that which appears unreal. We work in the realm of the unconscious, the invisible, the other. Through the arts we challenge our perceptions of hazardous chemicals and wastes and stimulate new thinking about how each of us can take responsibility for ensuring <b>...</b>

The first ever People's Sessions


...happened about a year ago featuring a magical performance by THE WHITE BUFFALO(click on name to see his website) in the stairwell of The People's Shoe's old HQ in Downtown LA. It was a jazzy little evening that also included an inspiring talk by The Plastic Pollution Coalition(click on link) teaching us about what we can do to stop the ever destructive "single use plastics." The crowd was especially full of cheer thanks to friendly conversation and the homemade, organic, Topanga Elixir (with or without vodka or rum!). This was one of our favorite performances of all time by one of our favorite singer songwriters today....I recommend all of you to check out THE WHITE BUFFALO by clicking on his name and also The Plastic Pollution Coalition .
