GARBAGE BAGS
By Julien Devereux
The Metropolis Observed
April 2003

Annie Schlechter

An estimated 450,000 scavengers pick over the trash heaps in Jakarta, Indonesia, collecting anything they think they can resell. When American artist Ann Wizer moved there in 2000, she saw an opportunity to help the scavengers and take her art in a new direction. "Last year I had an exhibition called Empty Legacy: Works Made from Trash," she says. "I made shoulder bags from garbage, employing the scavengers I had watched for months. The bags sold so well, I thought it would be silly not to continue." Wizer pays the scavengers for trash--specifically plastic-coated packaging for things like fabric softener or Capri Sun juice--and then employs some of them to wash, sort, and sew the salvaged items into patterns she designs.

Wizer will launch a line of bags and furniture in Singapore this May. Ultimately she hopes to hand the whole operation off to the Indonesian scavengers who inspired her. "I never intended to be a bag designer," she says. "I got it started, and now I want to give it to those who need it."

Margarine vs Butter

DO YOU KNOW... The difference between margarine and butter? Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study. Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added! Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods. Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

=====================
And now, for Margarine...
=====================

Very high in trans-fatty acids... Triple risk of coronary heart disease... Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) .... Increases the risk of cancers by up to five fold... Lowers quality of breast milk ... Decreases immune response... Decreases insulin response. And here is the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

YOU can try this yourself: purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things: no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something) ... it does not rot or smell differently..because it has no nutritional value, nothing will grow on it...even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Share This With Your Friends.....(Butter them up.)

See? You learn something new everyday!
