2009 summary

2009 was a big year for No Standing. a year to grow, learn and preserve. to go into detail would be like dropping a dehydrated survivor into an ocean.

SO.

We grew in clients, worked on events, worked in the poorer or areas and spread the word through poetry and words. Most importantly, we saved over 30 tons of waste going into our landfill sites. To break it down, No Standing recycled: 9.4 tons of paper, 6.7 tons of plastic, 777kilograms of tins and 13.2 tons of glass.
Obviously this year we want to grow and expand these numbers in 2010.

it all takes a little bit of love, selflessness and effort.

here's some images from the year that was.

peace and light.
