>From 8 am to 1 pm tomorrow, at the corner of Patterson Park and Eastern Avenue, Baltimore Trash Talk (BTT), an anti-litter group that I am involved with, is hosting a bottle exchange. Participants will receive five cents for each plastic, glass or aluminum can and bottle returned. The purpose of the collection is to illustrate the benefits of a bottle return in Baltimore City and to reduce the amount of recyclables littering the streets and waterways around Baltimore. If a bottle or can was worth money, even just a few cents, residents would be less likely to throw it away. This is supported by research and programming in 10 other states in the U.S. that have container deposit laws.****
Immediately following the collection of materials, all are welcome to participate in creating a stream from the recyclable containers (a rendering of the proposed installation can be found on the Trash Talk<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Baltimore-Trash-Talk/119366028104360?ref=hl>page). >From 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, local artists and residents will create a temporary exhibit in Patterson Park, photograph the results then send the materials off to be recycled. For more information, visit BTT on Facebook or email baltimoretrasht...@gmail.com or me to receive a flier/pdf about the event. ** ** ** Please contact BTT via e-mail or on Facebook at your earliest convenience as to whether you might be able to volunteer. I hope to see some of you there. Best, Dawna - Dawna Cobb 2943 N Charles Street Baltimore, Maryland 21218 410.627.0769 www.linkedin.com/pub/dawna-cobb/5/894/818
