Installation:
Flood
by Susan Stockwell

Flood

Susan Stockwell has created Flood, this year’s installation at York St Mary’s, using recycled computer components.

Flood falls from the roof of the medieval church, and tumbles down to the nave in a mass of brightly coloured metal and wire, all set against the solid grey stone and architectural form of the building.

The installation explores the theme of communication, provided by religion in the past and by computer technology today.

It looks at the nature of our consumer society, exposing the insides of the machines we take for granted and use every day, then dispose of when they are finished with.

Date:

Stray Toasters

The theme for this year’s Recycle Now week focuses on old electrical items: you know, those things we’ve all got hidden away at the back of cupboards, or shoved in drawers – that Walkman that was state-of-the-art back in the 80s, or the 1970s ghetto blaster you just can’t bear to throw away because you saved up for it for months!

Basically anything with a plug, a battery, that needs charging or holds a crossed out wheelie bin logo – kids’ toys, broken kettles or toasters -  can all be dropped off at the local recycling centre where their valuable components of plastics, metals (including gold, silver and copper) can be recycled and turned into new electrical items.

And when you hear that last year 173 million electrical items were sold, as well as 27 million mobile phones, not to recycle waste seems like such… a waste!

Recycle Now Week – 21st June to 28th June 2010

If you want to know the answers to those pressing questions about recycling such as…

What items can be recycled?
When is Compost Awareness Week?
What is the Mobius Loop?
What is the point in recycling anyway?

…then look no further!

For these are all things that can be learnt during Recycle Now Week that runs from 21st to 28th June: an annual event held to “kick start new habits that can help us all want to recycle more”.

Waste and Resources and Action

Now in its fifth year, the campaign is run by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme): a not-for-profit company supported by funding from DEFRA and the DTI, in partnership with the administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The week is supported by local authorities, schools and businesses, when hundreds of events take place across the UK highlighting the importance of recycling, as well as informing and raising awareness of the benefits to the community.

If you want to find out what’s happening in your area, help take part or organise some of the activities, enter your post code on the Event Finder on the Recycle Now website.

While you’re on the website, it’s a great place to pick up some recycling tips and information about recycling symbols (Oh, so that’s what a Mobius Loop is!), how to reduce packaging, and cool eco products.

If simply knowing which bin to put out on which day of the week confuses you (and it does me!) – all is revealed with such infectious zeal that you’ll be motivated and enthused to “find out something new, do something new or generally do more of what you already do”.

Kerbside Enthusiasm

The good news is that nowadays nine out of every ten houses has kerbside collection: residual household waste has decreased by 22% since 2000/01, equivalent to an average of 16kg per person per year across England as a result of campaigns like Recycle Now.

Slightly worse news is that although 73% of packaging produced in the UK can be recycled, only 33% actually is – surely some room for improvement there.

But what actually happens to all our carefully sorted rubbish when it leaves the house?

If you’ve ever plaintively opined the question “why?” when rinsing out cans of cat food at the kitchen sink, the Recycle Now website can provide you with some of the answers.

Plastic Beach

Our discarded household items are being turned into commodities that are valued across the world.

Once the rubbish leaves the kerb, it’s taken to a Materials Recovery Site where all the different types of material are sorted by hand or machine, and sent to manufacturers who then transform it into brand new products so we can buy them again – adds a new meaning to materialism doesn’t it?

Millions of tonnes of material are recycled every year, with the result that all newspapers in the UK are made from recycled paper and over 80% of glass is used to make new bottles and jars.

Recyclables like plastic waste garner high prices in countries such as China, where there are not so many natural resources: there’s also the added advantage that carbon emissions are minimised, energy is reduced, and materials are not being landfilled.

Volunteers: Inspiration and Opportunity

Volunteering opportunities can be sourced from the Volunteers’ Week website which provides inspiration for work in such diverse areas as the Justice System, Environmental Health, Defence Volunteering, Emergency Services and the Arts.

These newer choices can be found alongside the popular alternatives of working in Charity Shops, fundraising, volunteering with animals, or working within the community.

It also works with employers of businesses to run formal employer-supported volunteering programmes.

For anyone wanting to take part in Volunteers’ Week, it’s possible to register online at the website www.volunteersweek.org.uk where information, event ideas and resource packs can be downloaded.

The new logo, posters, certificates, flyers and branded merchandise are available from mid April.

Trumpet Voluntary!

As well as giving recognition, Volunteers’ Week also provides an opportunity to find out more about becoming part of the voluntary sector.

During the week, taster sessions are organised and special red buses tour the cities, encouraging new recruits to get involved in volunteering.

Recent research has shown that there has been a rise of 115% in the number of people applying for voluntary jobs as in these days of recession, more and more members of the public are recognising that the first-hand experience offered will not only benefit society, but also help with finding future employment.

Volunteers’ Week - 1st June – 7th June 2010

It takes a special kind of person to be a volunteer and often the only reward is a personal sense of achievement.

Most volunteers would say that this is more than enough, so it’s a good thing a public recognition of their endeavours takes place in Volunteers’ Week from 1st to 7th June each year – when a host of events are organised by volunteer managers and the general public to raise the profile of the growing number of people who donate their time and energy to help the community.

In 2009 more than 380 activities took place across the country, to demonstrate public appreciation in the form of Awards Evenings, tea parties, team challenges, fashion shows, sponsored walks and even pampering sessions.

Volunteering England

Now in its 26th year, Volunteers’ Week was in the first instance administered on a local level.

In order to raise the profile of the Week, the National Centre for Volunteering took over the running until 2004 when a new integrated national agency called Volunteering England was formed – together with Volunteer Development England and the Consortium on Opportunities for Volunteering.

Currently the agency is working on a wide range of projects, including the Inspiration and Legacy Project that aims to increase the number of volunteering opportunities in areas of sport, the environment and the arts, making sure that everyone who is inspired to volunteer by the Olympic and Paralympic Games has the chance to do so.

Volunteering England also works towards providing activities to support the role of volunteers in the National Health Service, and helps to develop the infrastructure for volunteering in sport, in conjunction with Sport England.

But above all, Volunteers’ Week offers a chance to change things – and ensures that those who already do so are shown to be appreciated.
