.Alt__Chicago and Happy Returns are two organizations on a mission to bridge the gap between art and sustainability with a new initiative aimed at 'redeeming plastic' on Chicago's West Side. The project? Creating benches accessible to the public.
“We really loved that art was at the center of this but so was the community piece because there’s so many ways for youth and community members to get involved,” said Uzma Noormohamed, program director of the Illinois Science and Energy Innovation Foundation. “… Folks will be interacting with it because of the placement in the community afterwards.
Alt_ has an ideal collaborator in Happy Returns, whose mission is aimed at the intersection of digital craft and recycling plastics. The two groups want to take their love for sustainability, as well as their love for community, nationwide.
