Eco idea Basi Ireland Bashny.Net

Original and spectacular idea since 2007 implements Basia Ireland from California. It freezes in ice seeds of various plants and puts lumps on the Rio Grande. Ice melts, and the seeds are spread virtually all over the world from the Gulf of Mexico.





Seeds "written" line (of course, conventionally, the words are not there), and the blocks themselves look like a book. And like anything because there is no supernatural, but how important and global idea, almost a mission to save the planet from destruction and waste of natural resources.



Basi project called «Ice Receding / Books Reseeding», which translates sounds not so interesting, but explains the meaning of the process - "The retreat of the ice / Peresevanie books." By the same word in the context of the theme reseeding carries a double meaning - rebirth and seeding.



Through the launch of seeds into the river we, a group of artists in the composition of 95 people, start restoring watersheds ecological environment. It encourages and demonstration experiments, and the seeds and frozen in ice packs donated by the participants of the experiment, which may continue the process of landing when the book will sail to them.




Basia painter, sculptor and public figure. The project in 1995 was conceived as a symbolic experiment. But he got publicity and support for the general public. As a result, a grand idea attracted many participants. People from different regions and even countries came to the gathering place seeds on bicycles, horseback, on foot, by helicopter: it was the Americans and the Indians; and Mexicans and Europeans.



Our project is a mission of global reunion is a deep spiritual and cultural significance.




The film about the project was released in 1999, was shown on PBS in the United States under the "Project for the safe and sustainable world».
