Prescription bottle art from Jean Shin →
Prescription bottles that are re-used can actually be really beautiful. These few sculptures were shown in the Smithsonian in DC.
Pennies for Pills
There are so many people in the world that simply cannot afford the necessary prescription pills they need for either themselves or for their family. Rhen, Liz and I are creating sculptures made out of old prescription pill bottles. These sculptures are going to be great visual pieces but they are also serving the purpose for people to donate to people who are less fortunate and can’t afford what they need. So far I have contacted multiple pharmacies, nursing homes, and friends and gathered hundred of pill bottles and it’s looking to be a great start!

Quite a cool article on the value of removing traffic from the neoughbourhood. Couldnt agree more, but in the end its not oppinion but hard data that counts. This wasthe message from the (awesome) NYC Commissioner of the Dept of Transport Janette Sadik-Khan - who has done incredible things transforming NYC into a city that favours people over cars (she spoke at the City Talks with CLover Moore recently).
