Commissioned installation in public space of spa resort Luhačovice, Czech Republic. Part of Luhovaný Vincent festival
Fake grass, wood, sandbags
Dimensions 3 x 5 meters
2021
Many corporations started to present themselves as environmentally friendly while they just adapt to new discourse so they can continue their business. These PR strategies are smoke screen to hide real problems. They push consumer to feel personal guilt if he/she can not buy bio, fair-trade, organic products. There is a long list of various corporations like airlines, mining companies, food industry, car manufacturers, and we can find some greenwashing strategies even within political propaganda.
I created this installation in the cheapest way so it looks like theatrical scenery and it’s fakeness is glaring. Fake grass in contrast with the real one is just as absurd as greenwashing agenda of billionaire corporations. Unskillful way of this construction from backside is in contrast with clean frontside. The same as advertisement provides us: beautiful packaging but rotten from behind.
All the material from this piece will be reused in different context.

CALACA, PHILIPPINES-- On May 14, 2016, different environmental and social groups held a protest in front of the public market and coal power plant in Calaca, Batangas, Philippines on May 14, 2016. They are calling to stop the propose expansion of this coal plant.
Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.

Local guests and Greenpeace Staff holding a banner that reads 'Strawless Seattle' at the end of the Arctic Sunrise Plastics Reception.
Greenpeace hosts an Arctic Sunrise reception to celebrate the end of single-use plastic straws in Seattle. The reception will help people learn about the City of Seattle's straw ordinance, hear what other cities, companies, and organizations are doing locally and across the globe, and what needs to happen to Break Free From Plastic.
This sign is beside the community centre -- which was just starting to be expanded at the time.
There are residences not far across the creek.
Talfourd creek also is known as toxic creek.

Greenpeace activists set up two 13' tall, 15' wide 'pinboards' outside of the Pinterest office in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco, California May 6, 2014. Each of the boards featured real-life 'pins' with the message "Make Our Pins Green". Designers, photographers and other influential Pinterest users who partnered with Greenpeace's #clickclean campaign for a green internet designed many of the pins on the boards.

An oil slick floats near residences as crews work to contain a nearly 600 gallon oil spill in Richmond, California on February 10, 2021. As the pandemic drags on, some residents of the Bay Area faced a different kind of health emergency on February 9th: an oil spill. Around 600 gallons of an oil-and-water mixture spilled from a Chevron oil refinery in Richmond, California into the San Francisco Bay, the company told local health authorities.
The incident triggered a Level 2 health advisory from the local health department for residents of three surrounding communities, which was lifted later in the evening. Other agencies said that they are continuing the investigation, especially watching for any impacts the spill might have on wildlife.
Richmond is predominantly Black and Latino, groups often exposed to higher levels of pollution, and as a result, face more health problems. Refineries like Chevron’s have historically been sited in communities of color, while other historic injustices such as redlining have locked in still more negative public health impacts today.
Last Chance Alliance activists hold a rally outside Governor Newsom’s State of the State address to highlight the environmental and public health threats posed by California’s oil industry. Activists and community members living on the frontlines of oil production held banners and chanted their demands to underscore the urgency of the climate crisis. The Alliance is comprised of more than 700 environmental, health, justice, faith, labor, community, parent, and consumer organizations.

NETL’s Analytical Laboratory in Albany is equipped to aid researchers in analyzing materials on a micro scale in simulated environments, which helps to discover properties that can affect processing at the macro scale. This research also ensures that materials used in the energy industry are long-lasting and durable, in turn, keeping maintenance and replacement costs low.

The Surfrider Foundation and Greenpeace team up to organize a volunteer beach clean up on South Beach in Miami. The clean up came as the Greenpeace Arctic Sunrise Atlantic Coast Ship tour wraps up it's final leg. Volunteers pick up debris along the beach.
Surface Analysis Laboratory (SEM)
NETL researcher Keith Collins
B1-109
The Surface Analysis Laboratory is equipped to assist researchers in analyzing materials on a microscale in simulated environments, which helps to discover properties that can affect processing at the macroscale. The laboratory houses X-ray diffraction equipment, electron microscopes, a metallographic laboratory, and a complete analytical chemistry laboratory. The facility enables scientists to conduct wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. Thermal analysis can be performed to determine thermophysical properties of materials, such as decomposition temperatures and solidification temperatures. The laboratory also has instrumentation to determine which elements and compounds are present and their concentrations in solids, powders, and liquids to verify that alloys contain the correct balance of elements and compounds, helping keep these alloys in line with industry demands
To help solve environmental problems we’re facing today, NETL’s Engineered Natural Systems Lab integrates science and engineering principles that will improve the natural environment, and ease the impact of pollutants on the environment.
The Lab looks for ways to progress geologic CO2 storage, shale gas production, and ultradeep offshore oil production.

Leco CS744 - Oxygen/Nitrogen by Inert Gas Fusion Infrared and Thermal Conductivity Detection
The Leco CS744 is designed for routine measurement of carbon and sulfur in primary steels, ores, finished metals, and other inorganic materials. Additional features—such as a high-frequency combustion furnace, improved IR cell design, rugged design, and available automation assists in acquiring an accurate analysis of carbon and/or sulfur.

Trace amounts of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen can make a big difference in the structure and properties of many alloys. Combustion analysis can be used to measure the concentration of carbon and sulfur in a number of different ores and metals. A small amount of the sample is first combusted in oxygen. The amount of carbon
dioxide and sulfur dioxide produced from the reaction is then measured with an infrared detector.
A similar approach is applied to measure the amount of nitrogen and oxygen present in each sample. The sample is placed inside a graphite crucible and heated rapidly. Oxygen present in the molten sample reacts readily with the graphite crucible, and the amount of carbon dioxide formed from the combustion reaction is measured with an infrared detector and used to calculate the amount of oxygen originally present in the sample. Nitrogen gas escaping from the molten sample is measured with a separate thermal conductivity detector, as it is invisible to the infrared detector.
By measuring the composition of alloys down to parts-per-million levels, it is possible to work out how changes to ingredients and processing conditions affect their composition.
