More thoughts.. Independent research

During my research, I ran into a lot of projects that collaborated ecological artists with the surrounding community. This is something i am very much interested in. I think its so important and effective to step outside of the artists bubble or the environmentalists bubble and reach out to other people who may not know what they could do to give back to the earth. Aside from raising environmental awareness, group activities and projects really help to bond the community in a special way. I would love to do a collaborative project with Elon elementary school or maybe even with students at Elon University. Maybe having a recycling competition and using the materials to make things, or something along those lines. Its definitely an idea to further brainstorm.
