If you missed some of the activities around Earth Day, there is a new kind of receptacle on the streets of Lakewood along Detroit and Madison Avenue. Local artists were called upon to help beautify Lakewood as part of a trendy “green smART” community project. The assets of the “Art of Recycling” contest were revealed on the front steps of the library. The goal was to creatively design a 55-gallon bin that would encourage recycling in the community. Green Smart Gifts, Local Girl Gallery and Lakewood is Art selected eight artists, provided them a $150 stipend to cover the costs of materials and time, and viola! While seven bins might not be enough (evaluations are being tracked) - it is a step in the right direction.
