The recent WCA Pacific Region “Elements Eco-Art Conference” was held June 25, 2010 during the WCA Summer Board Meeting at the David Brower Center in Berkeley! Conference featured three panels on eco-art, performance art, interactive discussions, mini-film festival, art-making and an eco-activist awards ceremony.
Going GREEN with the WCA's awards catalog!
WCA has taken first steps to go green with using paper products from well-managed forests, backed by a rigorous, third-party certification audit carrying the The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) label for its 2010 Lifetime Achievement Awards catalog. Furthermore, the catalog was printed with soy inks, plus the engery used in printing process comes from wind energy.
Furthermore, all WCA's office paper is reused and shredded. The shreddings are then composted in the administrator's compost heap in Upstate NY. As her studio, a former schoolhouse dating back to 1848, does not have a septic system, she relies solely on composting her “nite soil.” The book “Humanure” by Joseph Jenkins, was essential to making her studio life possible, and WCA's shredded waste provides a welcome cover material to be converted to humus in about 2 years.
