Street Faire emphasizes reducing waste, recycling The fair's student-initiated recycling program made bins and stations easily accessible for fair-goers By Steven Neuman News Reporter The 2004 ASUO's Spring Street Faire boasts about 25 food vendors this year, all of them chopping, frying, grilling, toasting, mixing, sauteing and finally serving up thousands of meals to the delight of community members, Uni versity students, faculty and staff. Ihe Street Faire, which should accu mulate much garbage, offers recycling as the only option and dramatically cuts the amount of waste. "We work with the recycling and garbage facilities, and we have all the garbage cans covered with plastic bags so that you can't put trash in them, you have to go to a recycling station," Street Faire Coordinator Diana Aguilar said. University Recycling Program Man ager Karyn Kaplan said the fair offers students the opportunity to recycle many types of materials, including compostables such as food, paper products, and bottles and cans. Two main recycling stations are lo cated at both ends of the fair, and small er stations are scattered throughout for convenience to fair-goers, Aguilar said. "We've reduced the wastestream by about 70 percent," Kaplan said. "It's an effort towards zero waste, and that can't be obtained until all materials are compostable." Ihe recycling program at the fair was instated by students, Kaplan said. The first "small effort" in 1998 offered only material recycling and successfully Tim Kupsick Photographer VolunteerZachary Zakon helps sophomore Jessica Freedman (left) and junior Erin Baldwin recycle food and plates at the ASUO Street Faire on Thursday. reduced about 40 percent of the fair's waste When compostables were added, the waste dropped to the current level. "Composting is the next horizon," Kaplan said. "We've worked with food vendors to purchase 100 percent pa per products." Recycling station volunteer sopho more Alice Wessling said the multiple bins at the recycling station tend to sometimes confuse fair-goers, adding that they are still appreciative. "But that's why I'm here," she said. "Everybody says 'thanks for doing it.' No one has been negative about it." The food vendors, who also pro duce waste, are bound by strict guide lines and rules, Aguilar said. "We have two big garbage bins and that's the only place where the ven dors can throw away their garbage and everything else they have to put in recycling," Aguilar said. "They can't have any Styrofoam because you just can't recycle that. They are doing a re ally good job of complying." Doug Ellingson and Yuen Lee, who run the Noodles Delight booth, said the recycling program is a good one, yet is absent at many of the other street fairs they've attended. "They know their process," Elling son said. "They give you two buckets; when one gets full they come by and take it away. It's simple. A lot of things we would normally put into the garbage we can put in there." Kaplan said mobilizing the large num bers of volunteers and workers to help the effort is challenging but rewarding. "It's a huge effort," she said. "But it's really wonderful that we can all do this. It's a really powerful thing be cause it's a community effort."

Museum Director David Turner said the open house is an excellent chance for people to see how the building has changed. "If people enjoy architecture and how things are built, it will be a reve lation of the scale and complexity of this project," he said. "Architecture is a work of art and we can see the archi tecture process right now." Jordan said people will be sta tioned in the various gallery spaces to explain what attendees can expect in the fall with the museum's rededica tion. The open house is the only op portunity for the public to see the mu seum's back rooms, which will close when the works of art are moved in for the fall. The open house will also feature a number of hands-on activities for at tendees, including book-making and an activity called "Create Your Own Masterpiece for the Museum," in which people of all ages will be given crayons, paints and other materials to make their own works of art. Also, for the first 275 attendees, there will be 4-by-4 inch tiles available for painting. The painted tiles will make up the backsplash for sinks in the museum's studio. There will also be a folk storytelling from Japan, Korea and China in the Interac tive Discovery Gallery space "We use every opportunity we can to have something fun to do," said Tonkin. "We really want to reach out to the University and want to build a good relationship with University students." The massive renovation project will nearly double the size of the museum and has cost approximately $14.4 million. The renovated museum will include a proper loading dock and nearly triple the storage space, which will allow the museum to accommo date more works, according to Public Relations and Marketing Coordinator Katie Sproles. Jordan said the new museum will also include "state-of-the-art climate conditions throughout the museum for the collection and for loan works." Tire renovation will also add a lec ture hall and a studio as part of the museum's new educational suite. The new museum will also include a cafe — which will be run by local French restaurant Marche — and an expand ed museum store and special events hall available for public rental. The public can also look forward to a number of substantial exhibits slat ed for the museum's opening in the fall. The first show will feature faculty art from the University art department and, in January, complete prints by Andy Warhol will be shown. Turner said the Warhol exhibit will give view ers the opportunity to see complete prints of "Marilyn (Monroe), Mao (Zedong) and Mick (Jagger)." In the spring, the University's mas ters of fine arts candidates will show their work, and the summer exhibit will feature landscape photos of the American West, including photos from the famed photographer Ansel Adams. Turner encouraged the public to at tend Saturday's open house. "I really want our public to under stand how we do things at the muse um, so they should see how this mu seum is getting built," he said.
