Part manifesto, part cry for help this zine, this Zine was made as a part of a collection of books I made in 2023. The Gleaner Trash Books, started as a way to evaluate my own consumptive waste while working to root my practice in gleaning and creative reuse. All copies have been freely distributed, and are made from remnant material.&#38;nbsp;
all I know so far...
Accept mistakesProgress&#38;gt;Perfection. Contradictions are everywhere and interesting. I also think of every mistake as a reminder of life, or an invitation for reinvention.&#38;nbsp;
Ask for what you don’t have
It is fun to share resources! The less we buy the less we support toxic supply chains. I found this talk by Amanda Palmer inspirational in the benefits of asking for help.&#38;nbsp;
Focus on the local
One of the best things about using trash as material is that there will always be more, and there are lots of people not saving discard. Intervening locally, creates new relationships and encourages continued saving. My mother has a relationship with her tailor where they give her shirt scraps to quilt with.&#38;nbsp;

Use your time generously
 I am usually emotionally,materially or socially rewarded through this act.&#38;nbsp;

Take a dive in the dumpster
Know your trash days. Come after the store is closed, bring gloves and a headlamp if you have them. There might be a separate compost pile, jackpot! For closed bags, squeeze the outside to determine the value of the contents, then make a guess. Once inside, trust your body &#38;amp; use your senses to determine if it's worth saving. Clean up after yourself, close opened bags.

Stores waste tons of food per week. All that is thrown out is not necessarily rotten. The supply chain demands and the free market discards the surpluss or undesirable trends into the waste stream. Fruitful times are&#38;nbsp;beginning/end of the month ot the end of college semesters.&#38;nbsp;
Sometimes stores lock trash, which is sad for us gleaners. Be alert, there are many laws still in place prohibiting trash picking/ trespassing.&#38;nbsp;

Look to the groundFlowers, discarded paper, plastic, shoelaces, feathers, pins, glass...

Keep a clean recycling bin
Treating recycling with care imbues value in the material.&#38;nbsp;

Mind your mail
I love the inside of bank envelopes. But mail can also be a symbol for the paper we use everyday, from notes to printed slips, reciepts, groecery bags, use ur eyes and watch out for it.&#38;nbsp;
Practice exchange
 What can I contribute?&#38;nbsp;

Share what you can
Your contributions are valuble.&#38;nbsp;
Try gratitude
 When I find myself focusing on what I do not have, I look to what is in front of me.&#38;nbsp;

						These cups were produced to be distributed as part of an effort to engage and educate community members about compost process, locally and personally.&#38;nbsp;

I wrote these fortunes asking myself what about the
process of composting feels important for folks to notice and apply to relationships they have to other
parts of the environment. Before we can understand the rules of compost, perhaps we can seed ideas of the theory of
composting. The synonyms for composting seem specifically relevant to community building.
Relating composting to our personal ecologies proposes we recompose our thoughts, reclaim our
desires or reintegrate compassion into our everyday life.

					
				
			
		
	
This piece is a reincorporation of a material obsession I have been thinking on since 2023. In this way my practice is also at times utilising composting process. Read more about the cups here.&#38;nbsp;
