DANIEL BLUE: ENVIROHOUSE >>>

If you have ever visited the Tacoma Landfill, I'm sure you've noticed the conspicuous miniature house that sits on the little slip of land between the incoming and outgoing traffic for the dump.    This is the EnviroHouse, the City of Tacoma's green building and natural landscape exhibit.  The EnviroHouse highlights readily available products for new and existing homes and yards and is soon hosting the fourth recycled-content art installation, where artwork made from at least 95 percent salvaged material is showcased.

Fourteen professional works of art from local artists Karen BenVeniste, Karen Fabiano and Ellen Miffitt will be on display at the EnviroHouse June 19 through mid-October.  Meet the artists and learn about their environmental inspiration at the artists' reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on June 19.

If trash is paint, then the dump is an art supply even oil friendly Chuck Norris would love.
