Disappearing Bees: CCD INSTRUCTOR Carolina De Bartalo CLASS Typography 3 SEMESTER Spring 2010 FORMAT Book OBJECTIVE Design a 96-page book based on one of the following themes: 1) Survival; 2) Network. All elements of the design must be of your own creation, producing your own photos and/or produce your own illustrations, maps, charts and graphs. SOLUTION This 96-page book on Colony Collapse Disorder features topics that explain the “Survival” topic of Disappearing Bees. Chapters include, The Bascis and The Plan, explaining what CCD is and what we can do to help the survival of the bee population. All photography, graphs, charts and illustrations were designed by me.
this be the warning sign of a much larger crisis looming directly ahead? Might humankind suffer someday from ‘Civilization Collapse Disorder’? And how must we change our human hive in order to ensure its survival? Like “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Silent Spring” before it, “A Spring without Bees” is a compelling cautionary tale and a clarion call for action. On the 100th anniversary of the birth of Rachel Carson, the world faces a new environmental disaster, from a chemical similar to DDT. This time the culprit appears to be IMD, or imidacloprid, a relatively new but widely used insecticide in the United States. Many beekeepers and some researchers think IMD is the new prime suspect for the devastating syn-

The enhanced recycling program captures all aluminum, paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and compostable materials, greatly reducing the amount of waste Juicy Couture generates. Additionally, we now track all materials we divert from landfills so we know how much progress we’re making.

UPcycle Living INSTRUCTOR Lian Ng CLASS Print 3 SEMESTER Fall 2010 FORMAT Brochure Posters Logo Ticket Postcard OBJECTIVE We live in a world where people use products once or twice, and then throw them away. Most don’t even think twice about reusing an item or its packaging. There are hundreds of ways to repurpose items in your home to help you save money and help the environment SOLUTION Reusing used products around your home and repurposing them for other uses will keep cost down and help the environment.

01 WHAT IS UPCYCLING? Upcycling is similar to recycling in that you are taking something and reworking it into a new form for continued use. However the main difference is that in the case of upcycling you are generally not altering its form back into its components for reuse. For example, you have an old soup can, in recycling you would bring it back to a recycling center or put it out with the rest of your recyclables. The recycling center sorts the cans out and sends them out to be recycled, where the can would most likely be melted down to make a new can along will all the other old cans that are no longer in use. In upcycling you would clean the can, stick some contact paper on it, and call it a pencil cup. In both cases the can is no longer being used for its intended purpose (it’s been repurposed) and has not entered a landfill. The material of the can is being used for a new purpose- however the upcycled version of reuse has the can still being a can. The can may be recycled back into a can, but it still has to be remelted and reshaped.
The sad truth is that we live in a culture of consumption, where buying products to facilitate our lifestyle is a fact of life. However, true greens are asking us to change that mind set. The moral of the story is to think before you buy, and to buy in moderation. Conservation is as important, if not more so, than recycling, reusing or upcycling. With all of the options available to the savvy consumer, the simple act of choosing a brand of toilet paper to buy can really become something to think about. Maureen O’Connor, publisher of greensavvy lifestyle site AlternativeConsumer. com, has the following tips for eco-conscious consumers: “I think it’s important for people not to get overwhelmed by the need to become more eco-conscious. Most of us lead hectic, fast-paced lives. We should do our best to make changes as quickly as possible, but realize that we can’t change our entire life, overnight. Sometimes we just need to step back, slow down and take a deep breath. Appreciate what’s around us, and clear our minds.”
02 HISTORY OF UPCYCLING
Upcycling is different from simply reusing a product however, since you are actually altering the product. In the case of the soup can, the can has been repurposed for a new use. It’s not being used to hold soup anymore- it’s a still a vessel but it’s been giving a new lease on life as it were. Reuse would be more similar to reusing the container that your deli salad comes in to store leftovers in the fridge. In both cases the end result is the same- the containers don’t end up in a landfill- but they aren’t the same thing. If you were to make your own CD stamper out of the deli container and some tubing, then it would be upcycled. The term upcycling generally refers to the repurposing of waste materials or those items that were initially intended on being disposable, however the term is increasingly being extended beyond the definition that is given by McDonaugh and Braugart (the authors that orginally coined the term) and is being extended to the repurposing of anything that was intended to end up in the landfill.
In order to further understand this theory, we must look at its history. The term “upcycling” was coined by William McDonough and Michael Braugart in their ground breaking book on ecologically-intelligent design, Cradle to Cradle, published in 2002. In the simplest terms, upcycling is the practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use and value. It’s a question of designing new products that are intended to be reused again and again and yet again with a minimal amount of harmful by-products, effectively working as a “cradle-to-cradle” model of production. Here’s an example from Cradle to Cradle of the upcycling designer’s new intentions: imagine a world where people casually discard used bottles designed to eventually biodegrade into food for the plant seeds embedded in their bases.
This idea comes in stark opposition to the “cradle-to-grave” view of manufacturing originally conceived during the Industrial Revolution, which is still primarily in practice to this day. As McDonough and Braugart put it, the cradle-to-grave model is one where “resources are extracted, shaped into products, sold and eventually disposed of in a ‘grave’ of some kind, usually a landfill or incinerator...What most people see in their garbage cans is just the tip of the material iceberg; the product itself contains on average only 5 percent of the raw materials involved in the process of making and delivering it.”
RECYCLE OR UPCYCLE? You may ask what the difference is between upcycling and recycling, as they seem quite similar. According to Cradle to Cradle, recycling is actually an example of “downcycling,” whereby unrecoverable and unusable by-products are created in the recycling process. By recycling items toward uses that were never intended during their original production process (example: soda bottles into carpeting), they are effectively “wrestled” into a form that requires as much energy (or more so) to produce than manufacturing a new carpet. In the end, the rug is ultimately still on its way to a landfill, creating “eventual waste.”

RECYCLE OR UPCYCLE?
“Start by making simple changes, and being more conscious of our surroundings. Replace the light-bulbs with LED’s in your home and office; use re-chargeable batteries, conserve tap water, and my personal pet peeve — bring your own re-usable shopping bag when you go to the store. Support local farms and businesses (to save energy/transportation costs) and buy organic whenever possible. Lose the Hummer please.”

In the end, the rug is ultimately still on its way to a landfill, creating “eventual waste.”
“Most importantly, think about the total life cycle of a product before you buy something: consider how it was created, and what you can do with it or where it will end up when you’re through with it. Recycling, upcycling, conserving and biodegradability are all key issues today.” So where does this leave us? Ultimately, it’s all a question of choices. When presented with an opportunity to conserve resources, take it When purchasing products, think about their life span, regardless of how green they may claim to be. It will be a long process to change the way the world thinks about the environment, but with a little forethought and awareness, things can change for the better.

UPcycle Living also runs free national collection programs that pay non-profits and schools. UPcycle Living has exclusive partnerships with major CPG companies such as Kraft Foods, Frito Lay (Pepsi), Stonyfield Farm, Mars Wrigley, Martha Stewart, Lowes and many more. The partnerships create free collection programs that pay schools and non-profits nationwide to collect used packaging such as drink pouches, energy bar wrappers, yogurt cups, cookie wrappers, chip bags and more! The collected materials are upcycled into affordable, high quality products ranging from tote bags and purses to shower curtains and kites. In addition, UPCycle Living works with these partners to find innovative uses for all of their waste streams and by making products from these various waste streams, UPcycle Living prevents 1000’s of tons of waste from going to landfills. Be a part of our eco-revolution.

UPcycling Living is not alone in attempting to promote “green awareness.” Embracing a green lifestyle and expressing environmental concern has recently been embraced by the mainstream. A variety of ecologicallyfriendly and markedly stylish products have hit the market as trendy alternatives to the typical. A recent New York Times article by Alex Williams on the nature of green consumerism and its consequences, entitled “Buying into the Green Movement,” stated that the “vision of an eco-sensitive life as a series of choices about what to buy appeals to millions of consumers and arguably defines the current environmental movement as equal parts concern for the earth and for making a stylish statement. Some 35 million Americans regularly buy products that claim to be earth-friendly, according to one report, everything from organic beeswax lipstick from the west Zambian rain forest to Toyota Priuses.”
Image to top | Upcycled bricks and old towels to grow grass.
Matthew Sparkes, a writer TreeHugger.com, commented that the green movement’s rising popularity is due to the fact that “people are far more aware of environmental issues now. There [are] also a lot of very cool green products, which is tremendously important. Buying green doesn’t mean sacrificing style or quality. Companies like Freitag are making products from recycled materials that are actually desirable. Image to right | Open kitchen storage with upcycled pots used for storing items.
While buying “earth friendly” products is a commendable choice, the question remains: are these products really helping any existing environmental problems, or are they merely a trendy option that will soon die out? And what of “green washing,” wherein companies simply present an environmentally positive image to appeal to green consumers, while making no effort to back up their environmental claims? The Times article points out that green consumerism, while a considerate alternative to conventional buying habits, is still just that — consumerism. Buying more stuff, even if it’s eco-friendly, still produces waste, be it in the production process or the after-effects. “Consumers have embraced living green, and for the most part the mainstream green movement has embraced green consumerism. But even at this moment of high visibility and impact for environmental activists, a splinter wing of the movement has begun to critique what it sometimes calls ‘light greens.’”Williams continues to say that “critics question the notion that we can avert global warming by buying so-called earth-friendly products, from clothing and cars to homes and vacations, when the cumulative effect of our consumption remains enormous and hazardous.”

However the main difference is that in the case of upcycling you are generally not altering its form back into its components for reuse.

UPcycle Living helps make upcycling a reality. The recycling industry has invested millions of dollars in infrastructure development, recycling technology and public education to create a market-driven, efficient and effective recycling system. The industry has proactively supported the establishment of thousands of recycling centers for used materials, helping to make the recycling ethic a reality in households all across America. Recycling or upcycling materials saves energy and conserves natural resources. Upcycling saves 95 percent of the energy needed to produce new metal from raw materials. Thus, other emissions such as greenhouse gas emissions are also avoided when aluminum is recycled. Upcycling also conserves natural resources by decreasing the demand for raw material required to make primary aluminum from ore. The recycling system serves as an “above ground” mine, a critical component of the industry’s metal supply.
The endless possibilities of upcycling allows for material sustainability and upcycling is a simple way to reduce one’s carbon footprint and become an environmental role model, especially because repurposing materials over and over again without loss of strength or quality. The superior upcycling benefits association with reusable materials enable waste reduction, resource conservation and energy savings. • Making repurposed items from recycled materials uses 95% less energy and produces 95% less GHG emissions rather than producing new material. • 75% of all materials ever produced is still in use. • Americans throw away $2 billion worth of energy every year by not repurposing home items. • Repurposing and upcycling items can help make homes more energy efficient and is part of the green building revolution.

Today, the upcycing industry recovers approximately 54% of the reusable materials and containers produced in the U.S. While many reusable items are already the most widely recycled containers in the country, each year Americans still discard over 50 billion dollars worth which end up in landfills.

INSTRUCTOR Claudia Middendorf CLASS Print 1 SEMESTER Fall 2009 FORMAT Book OBJECTIVE Make a book that repsresents you and how you feel about yourself. You can pick different quotes or passages that you like and incorporate those into your booklet. Make the typography and imagery work together and unite and flow. SOLUTION I AM ME represents who I am and how I was feeling at that particular point in my life. I took one of my favorite passages, BLAH by BLAH. The bold and bulky typography contrasts with the delicate and light-feeling photography.
IN ALL THE WORLD, THERE IS NOT ANOTHER EXACTLY LIKE ME.
Everything that comes out of me IS
authentically MINE, because I alone chose it.

I own everything about mE. my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, & my fears.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me and other aspects that I do not know, but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.

THE PROBLEM
It’s not a virus and it’s not a bacterium, but it is
OVERPOPULATION
OVERPOPULATION
And the numbers tell only half the story. Every cat or dog who dies as a result of pet overpopulation, whether humanely in a shelter or by injury, disease or neglect, is an animal who, more often than not, would have made a wonderful companion, if given the chance. Tremendous as the problem of pet overpopulation is, it can be solved if each of us takes just one small step, starting with not allowing our animals to breed.
WAYS TO HELP
WHO WE ARE
Such disregard for animal life pervades and erodes our culture. Abandoned and stray companion animals who survive in the streets and alleys of cities and suburbs pose a health threat to humans and other animals. Homeless companion animals get into trash containers, defecate in public areas or on private lawns, and anger citizens who have no understanding of their misery or their needs. Some of these animals scare away or prey upon wildlife, such as birds or frighten small children.
Clearly, pet overpopulation is not just a problem for the animals or for the shelters involved. Each year communities are forced to spend millions of taxpayer dollars trying to cope with the consequences of this surplus of pets. These public costs include services such as investigating animal cruelty, humanely capturing stray animals, and sheltering lost and homeless animals.
STATISTICS & MYTHS
Too many companion animals competing for too few good homes is the most obvious consequence of uncontrolled breeding. However, there are other equally tragic problems that result from pet overpopulation: the transformation of some animal shelters into warehouses, the acceptance of cruelty to animals as a way of life in our society, and the stress that caring shelter workers suffer when they are forced to euthanize one animal after another. Living creatures have become throwaway items to be cuddled when cute and abandoned when inconvenient.
The public health epidemic of dog bites—which number more than 4.5 million each year—is due in part to uncontrolled breeding of pets. Bites by so-called dangerous dogs have drawn an enormous amount of media attention, and fatalities caused by dangerous dogs are a serious concern. Often, the vicious tendencies found in some dog breeds can be attributed to irresponsible breeding without regard for temperament. Neutering can help reduce this aggressive behavior.
THE FACTS
Every day in the United States, thousands upon thousands of puppies and kittens are born because of the uncontrolled breeding of pets. Add to that number the offspring of stray and abandoned companion animals, and the total becomes even more staggering. Every year, between six and eight million dogs and cats enter U.S. shelters; some three to four million of these animals are euthanized because there are not enough homes for them.
THE PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? In one way or another, all of us, including those who do not even have pets are affected by animal overpopulation. Millions of tax dollars are spent annually to care for lost, abandoned, and unwanted pets and millions more to put to sleep those that were not fortunate enough to find a home. The health and safety of our communities is another concern. The greater the population of unwanted animals, the greater the incidence of such animal related issues as rabies, dog bites, cat scratches, traffic accidents, and animal abuse.
