A MATTER OF BALANCE 2002
Functional balance scale for the dining hall of the
Puget
Sound Environmental Learning Center, Bainbridge
Island, WA. The school invites regional grade school children to
spend a week with
their entire class and teacher studying environmental issues. In
addition to collecting rain water runoff from the campus buildings,
organic gardening, composting, recycling and conservation, students are
encouraged to separate their food waste into three buckets; compost
(plants), non-compost (animal waste) and liquids. These buckets are then
placed on the scale and
weighed using supplied weights. By recording each day’s waste the
hope is that the kids will
throw away less food by the end of their visit than
at their arrival.
Stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum. 35”d x 50”w x 70”h
Detail showing custom spun aluminum bucket with
waterjet-cut stainless steel label.
