Statement:
May 2006
3229 - TOTAL AOL cds accumulated as of 02/30/06
46 - non-AOL cds (including, but not limited to, Earthlink,
Juno, Excite and Peoplepc.)
3 - 3.5 inch AOL floppy discs
22 AOL cds this month. Most of them were from Paty Shenk.
This is the third time she's sent me some cds. Thanks Paty!
In other developments, I've found someone to use some of the
boxes the cds come in. Gordon Winiemko, in Irvine, CA, uses
these boxes to package some of his DVD projects.

For more information on what it takes to make a cd, see this
document put out by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Process:
I will accumulate as many AOL cds as possible until September
2006. I will enlist the help of friends and strangers through
word of mouth, emails, craigslist, freecycle, and other existing
social networks. The CDs are accumulated from where they are
forced upon the public; primarily from people who have received
them in the mail, or from publications where the cds are inserted
as advertisements.
I will stack them and build "Pillars of Decency"
(a funny comment on the wastefulness of this form of advertisement).
The more I get, the taller the "Pillars" will be!
When the year is over, I will donate them to --> http://www.nomoreaolcds.com/
What I would like from you is the following:
1. Your AOL cds! - The ones you and your friends, family and
neighbors receive in the mail! Whenever you find some, keep
them and think of me.
2. Get the cds to me. - If you live in the New York City area,
I can probably pick them up, if you have a bunch, or you can
mail them to me (sorry, I have $0.00 budget for this project,
so I can't reimburse you for postage. However, I will offer
you fame and good feelings by mentioning your name in thanks
when the project is exhibited. If you send them "Bulk
Mail" it will be cheaper!)
-OR- Send me an email, and we'll figure out how to get the
CDs to me. (see below for addresses)
3. Tell your friends! - Talk to, or email your friends, family,
coworkers, strangers, etc. about this project. The more the
better!That's it.
I very much appreciate your time and effort in making this
project a success, and welcome you to check out the website
frequently, as it grows every month!
