There are many ways to reimagine rubbish

If you have an idea and you want to sell it, this might be a way to go but maybe not. Anyway it is an interesting picture. Now that we have your attention please read on!
There is indeed a multitude of ways to reimagine rubbish and it needs to be done. The 'old' so called tried and true methods are failing not only badly but VERY badly. At the top of the heap are the so called "public servants"! Sadly they no longer seem to see their role as being 'of service.' Worse still, they are all too often aided and abetted in their social dysfunctionalism by our "political representatives" many of whom seem to have lost the plot.
There is a need to think outside the box but bureaucrats are generally not good at that. Their best work is often done managing, and reimagining, their promotion options and superannuation alternatives. Too many of them are addicted to the status quo but it is not really their fault. Why? Because we tend to be more comfortable with that and we send out that signal – we must stop doing that!

The NOTrubbish BLOG is starting to try and show another way of imaging 'rubbish'. There are some interesting ideas out there and there needs to be a forum through which they can be discovered, interrogated and tested for veracity.

There is also a SNAZZYidea out there that is also a TAZZYidea. It is the Hobart Tip Shop – click here to read more – This group of people are at the cutting edge of sustainable cultural activeism in Tasmania. A spin off from their original concept is their ART FROM TRASH PROJECT and it is a space that we might do well to watch – as they say.
