This environmental performance consisted in inviting the citizens of Manchester to dipose their unwanted non-organic waste into a transparent container, placed at the bar of the greenroom arts centre, in which I lived for 2 days. This was also broadcast via internet, in order to give the opportunity to the rest of the world to see how the bin was getting filled up while I was inside, and at the same time, ask me questions about the project.

In the room was screened Landfill Performance @ arpley meadows (which part of the residues generated in Greater Manchester go to get buried) and 2 posters No more babies in this world. http://dieoff.org/page174.htm
