WE HAVE CARDBOARD...COME & GET IT!

We are a busy shop.  We work on a lot of cars, and need to order a ton of parts...hence we have a pretty consistent supply of cardboard boxes.  Hannah Sohl picked up on that, and has been stopping by our shop over the last couple of weeks, filling up her Subaru with carboard from our recycle bin.  The cardboard is being collected for a community project designed by Camila Throndike and Hannah Sohl called Rogue Community Climate Art Action.  The cardboard gathered is being cut into small tiles cut in the shape of simple houses to bring home the message that climate change will impact our local community.  The tiles are being decorated by members of the community, and represent what is loved about the Rogue Valley, and what they worry will be affected by climate change.  The tiles (estimated at 1,000 plus) will be assembled into a large salmon and displayed in the Porters Restaurant and Bar parking lot and 147 N. Front St. in Medford on Feb. 17 at 2:30 pm.  Sohl and Thorndike believe that art and social media are powerful tools to address important issues such as climate change, and we definitely agree.  To find out more about this community event, and to learn how you can get involved check out their facebook page, Rogue Climate Art, or watch their interview on Channel 5, viewable now on YouTube.  We are glad that we could contribute in some way for this "out of the box" community event used to raise awareness on climate change and how it will affect our local community.  Hope to see you all there in the Porters parking lot on Feb. 17!

If anybody needs any cardboard, come and get it.  We recycle all the paper and cardboard that comes through the shop, and would gladly give it up to anybody who needs it!
