Did you know that about 30-40% of all food production in USA goes to waste?
That’s about 80 billion pounds of food, which makes approximately 219 pounds of waste per person!
Food is the single largest component taking up space inside US landfills. It is unbelievable, I know. More about food waste, and what can we do to fight it in the video.

Finally, a blog I came across and looks like a great source of information and ways to get better. • • • Depression or trauma is a dirty word where I grew up. It’s not only a sign of weakness but a symptom of self-pity, exaggerating tendency and a drama seeking personality. Essentially, a sign of a bad character. - That needs to change. #bethechange #speakup #dogreat #mentalhealthawareness
As a reflection to recent events connected to police brutality and extensive usage of guns in the USA, I created a street art project called “Not A Target”.
I select various places around the city and use them as my canvas and a messenger.
My view is that No Body should be used as a shooting target. If that is the current state, we need to bring change.
