One person's trash is another per-
son's–art piece? Vernon muralist
michelle Loughery got 500 com-
munity members to create public
art using fishing buoys salvaged
by the Vancouver-based ocean
Legacy foundation. Parts of
ArtRoute Blue Buoys are on display
at the Greater Vernon museum
and Archives and Caetani Cultural
Centre. Plastic debris from the sea
inspired Vancouver author and
artist douglas Coupland's vortex
installation, at the Vancouver
aquarium until may 2019.

‰ the Write stuff
Vancouverite shia su likes talking
garbage. She also writes about it
on her blog Wasteland Rebel and
now in print. Zero Waste: Simple
Life Hacks to Drastically
Reduce Your Trash outlines
the benefits of cutting back, plus
how to do it, from shopping to
packaging. Local bistro Bel Café

returnable–glass jars.
