Debate on "Peak Oil" and choosing a new Global Paradigm

This group's purpose is to debate the “peak oil” phenomenon and its inevitable aftermath, and how we can help shape a post -petroleum future.    This is a global phenomenon and this is a global group.

About  [Edit]

Trash Mash-Up is a community art project. Using disposable materials, collected before they enter the waste stream, participants construct "Maskostumes" which are original pageant masks and costumes inspired by traditions from around the world. This project reduces waste and inspires people to see each other and our environment in a new way. Check out http://trashmashup.googlepages.com/Med_logowithtextfixed

As 2008 comes to a close, Jessie and I would like to thank you for your support over the past three years.   2008 brought many amazing gifts and opportunities for Trash Mash-Up.   TMU continued its fun and educational workshops serving children in San Francisco’s most underserved neighborhoods.  We have also created new international relationships.  We wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the highlights.

 

  • TMU performed in the 30th Annual San Francisco Carnaval Parade, celebrating world cultures with over 80 participating organizations and witnessed by over 80, 000 people.

  • TMU hosted over 16 workshops, was a part of 7 parades, and exhibited in 6 galleries and expositions.

  • TMU was featured as a City CarShare “Members Making a Difference!”  Bridget and Jessie have been members since 2002 and often use City CarShare cars to travel to workshop, parades and conferences. 

 

  • COSTA RICA.  August 2008, TMU collaborates with SF State and PRETOMA, a sea turtle conservation organization, in Costa Rica providing a month of art and ecology projects.

 

  • FRANCE.  TMU was profiled by EcoCitizens of the World in their project sponsored by the United Nations, UNESCO, the French State and Terre d’Humanite.  We were one of three organizations representing the United States.

 

  • AUSTRALIA.  TMU participated in the Million Puppet Project as a part of UNIMA Congress and the World Puppetry Festival in Australia.  12 trash puppets were submitted to help break the Guinness World Record for World’s Largest Puppet Display (now at 18, 585 puppets). 

 

There are many ways in which you can support the work of Trash Mash-Up.  Each gift is important and makes a difference in our success.

 

TMU is always in need of volunteers.  Individuals who are interested in participating in workshops and parades should contact us by email at trashmashup@gmail.com">trashmashup@gmail.com

 

Don’t know what to do with all that left over holiday wrapping paper and decorations?  TMU would love to receive your festive decorations.  Check out TMU’s website at Get Involved for more information on how to donate unrecycled items.

 

We look forward to continuing our urban tradition where others are inspired to see each other and our environment in a new way.  We truly believe that together we can use less and reuse more.   Thank you for your support.  

 

Best Wishes and Happy New Year!!

Bridget & Jessie McCracken

Join us for the Mash-Up Bash
Trash Mash-Up, a community art project, will be culminating on June 30, 2007 with a Mash-Up Bash, a public performance pageant. The Raymond Kimbell Playground in San Francisco’s Western Addition will be transformed by a visual spectacle made of music, movement, and “Maskostumes”. Maskostumes are original masks and costumes inspired by traditions from around the world created from disposable materials, collected before they enter the waste stream. With trash bag boas and bottle-cap chain mail, Trash Mash-Up builds creative connections and raises environmental awareness as a new urban tradition is fostered.

The World Premier of “Mash-Up Bash” will be on June 30, 2007 at 2pm in the Raymond Kimbell Playground, at Steiner St. and Geary Blvd., in San Francisco, California. The event is free and the public is encouraged to attend. For more information, go to Trash Mash-Up’s website at http://trashmashup.googlepages.com/
