The weights (all in pounds):

Plastic - 26
Glass - 143
Paper - 21
Metal - 11
Tetra Pak - 6
Miscellaneous - 31

Total - 238 pounds

WOW!!!  The average American produces about 1650 pounds!
That is almost 7 times what Ari collected.  By making small changes such as bringing his own bags, buying at the farmer's market, and buying bulk he minimized his waste.  In the process, he learned a great deal, became healthier and inspired a lot of people.

The trash is neatly back in my studio and work has begun on the actual piece!! 

I will soon post some interesting video documentation of the trash, as well as some numbers (weights, etc.)  I think it is important to record exactly what it was before I change it all into something totally different. 

I will also be posting photos and video of the work in progress every couple of weeks.

So more very soon...
