It me.
The @strawforward sculpture is bigger than just straws. It includes second-use materials from @ThreadIntl, @alleghenycw, @CJreuse, and @creative_reuse. See the creation by @dine_sustainpgh and @shiftusa at @CarnegieSciCtr next month. theincline.com/2018/12/18/pu…

You can do quite a lot with dormitory beds. instagram.com/p/BsGGhZch4Qm/…
These twin bed frames are really nice. Height is adjustable & they can be configured as bunk beds, loft or use with a matching desk. Check out uloft.com/beds for ideas! Did I mention we’re selling complete 3pc frames for $20 & desks for $25? Because we are. #cjreuse

Wow, we installed the @strawforward sculpture fast...the beauty of teamwork 😉. Lots of people helped along the way, but the crew from @dine_sustainpgh deserves a huge thank you. Now everyone go check it out and learn more about the issue of plastic pollution!
Now on display at #CarnegieScienceCenter: @dine_sustainpgh's @strawforward art installation, a sculpture that aims to inspire meaningful dialogue around the global-scale issues of single-use plastic waste and plastic pollution. Learn more: bit.ly/2RsbqAn
