Trade your cosmetics for science books

created by futurebird

(idea) by futurebird (2.2 y) (print)   ?   4 C!s I like it! Thu May 23 2002 at 21:17:27

This is the sign I'm working on in my apartment. It says "trade your cosmetics for science books" in big black letters when I have it ready I'm taking it to times square with a load of books. Good books about science: university books and children's books. All of them are about math and science. Anyone who gives me their cosmetics can have their pick of the books.

I was thinking of burning the cosmetics, but it might smell bad so, instead I'll just put them in a big jar so people can see how much progress I've made. I will have some tissue and cold cream on hand, so people can clean off their faces too.

I'm going to do this because I'm sick of being a bystander. I'm going to try to make an impact. This is the first step.
