A Cathedral of Junk

25 Mar

Vince Hannaman (sp?) started this junk project in 1988 and it has since become a tourist attraction in Austin. You can even rent it out for parties. There are no wires, nails, or glue was used to build this cathedral. He “chinese-puzzled” it together.

It took Vince 21 years to build this cathedral and now the city of Austin wants him to take it down. Oddly enough, the Visitor’s Bureau of Austin has sent hundred of tourists to his place over the last several years. Check out his Facebook page and watch the video were a city employee tries to understand exactly what he’s doing. http://www.facebook.com/Cathedral.of.Junk

20 Mar

Have you heard of the term FREEGAN. It’s Free + Vegan = Anti-consumerism. Check out this video from Planet Green TV about Dr. Milton Saier, a UCSD (University of California San Diego) Professor, a Freegan for 30 years, gives his students their first lesson in dumpster diving. We’re guessing he’s not  wearing shoes because he’s making a statement against the shoe corporations that support slave labor.
