Bottlehead puppets
Saturday, June 11, 2011If you are on Facebook and haven’t yet, consider fanning the everydaytrash.com page. You’ll find all kinds of fun bonus material there, like this photo album of sinister Ecuadorian trash cans and the back story on why they’re all shaped like scary clowns and other characters.
Anyway, I’m still in Ecuador. Today’s trashy discovery: soda bottles recycled as puppets for community theater. In this photo my colleague, Lourdes, displays a range of heads to be stuck on broomsticks and dressed up for community health workshops and other activities. I’m attending a youth outreach day tomorrow and hope to see some of these in action. More to come. Update: photos of kids painting faces on the puppets now posted to Facebook.

Trash Hiatus
Friday, June 10, 2011Apologies for the light posting of late, I’m in Ecuador this week for the day job, where the trash cans are seriously creepy. Updates on Latin American waste to come over the weekend. In the meantime, don’t forget to join the conversation on Facebook.
