| These are illustrations for an on-going multi-media project called
The Stuff Of Creation; An informal primer on municipal solid
waste and its connection to the use of natural resources written by
Doug Fowler. |
| Excerpt: "From the nuclear fires of creation came the subsidy for our entire material economy. When you hold metal cans, glass jars, styrofoam cups, and old newspapers, you hold the stuff of creation. Each is made of elements born in the hearts of stars. Even the material of life itself came from the stars. As Carl Sagan observed:'We are made of star stuff.'1" |
