chapter 09

In the beginning of this chapter follows a female worker in the PDA we sort of follow her routine at work, before, and after which was a good anecdote to start off this chapter as a new section. The thing that got my attention about this chapter was its little title he gave, it sounds like he/she was actually part of the process of the landfills. Niki Ulehla sounds like she could be a worker for the PDA or a dumpster diver, i was unsure of by the fact that she was scuffling through the trash and found a little piece of something that she was looking for. Later in the chapter they reveal the fact that she is a neighborhood artist by constructing her artworks from pieces that she finds in the junk yard. This was an artist that wanted to make something from other peoples trash to inspire people to see what they are throwing and what they can be used instead. In San Francisco they have developed the AIR program to raise awarness fo the amount of trash they are tossing into the trash and how much is going into the dumps. This program started in 1990 as a southside oddity.Unfortunately this has turned into a unlikely icon which has led to many places attempting to imitate it. As an attempt to imitate this it works but it does not last as long is the original does. In comparison to all of the other dumps around San Francisco the PDA is the one that has dominated all others with a 20ft deep football field indoor swimming pool of trash. As it turns out it is a loud, stinking dangerous place, filled with an ever-shifting whirlpool of debirs and heavy machinery 24/7, due to these factors no one has figured how to attract dancers and an audience into the facility with any reasonable of comfort or safety. I hope that someone will see what we are doing to our planet and make a difference.
