Every year, at the close of the Coachella Music & Arts Festival,GlobalInheritancedonates the majority of our redesignedbin collection to schools in Southern California to launch recycling programs in classrooms.This year we arecollaboratingwith schools across the border in Mexico to create an international bin exchange, because climate change has no borders!Artists in Mexico arealreadysubmittingconcepts and redesigning bins for the Art of Recycling program at Coachella so severalof those bins are going back home as part of the exchange!Schools located in or aroundMexicali and Tijuana are eligible to receive a cluster of redesigned bins, which will be delivered with a package of recycling signageand communication tools that teachers can incorporate into their curriculum. Special prizing for students going above and beyond their normal responsibilities to reduce their school's carbon footprint will round out the care package.Every school selected to partner with us on this initiative will be asked to create a bin that becomes a part of our 2020 Art of Recycling festival collection. These partnering schools will receive a select number of festival passes in exchange for their artwork andcollaboration!Interested in nominating a school to participate in the exchange, or have other ideas about supporting Art of Recycling: Mexico?
