Leafletting 1
2006

October 23 through 25, 2006, approximately four hundred leaves were placed around the city of Birmingham, Michigan, written on with facts and statistics about paper waste and recycling.

They were left on the windshields of cars parked on the street, in parking lots and garages, and also on parking meters, on the walls of covered walkways, and on office windows and doors. The writing was hand written on the back of leaves, and placed so that they would be read through the surface of the glass (when some one got into their car or sat down at their office desk and looked out the window).

All the leaves were gathered after falling and written on with non-toxic ink. Only plain water was used to stick them to surfaces. They decayed no differently than the rest of the fallen leaves of the season.
