Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Upside with Jordan a dose of good news.
Because it's a big world out there. The old expression
garbage in garbage out might have a brand new twist
on it, and it goes like this, rubbish in playground
and fun out. The story is from London and it
involves an adventure playground that also serves as an art installation.
It's called Replay and it's built entirely out of waste

(00:22):
materials that have been put to a new and exciting
use by the Hull based Herd Theater Group. A spokesman
for the group said, we reached out to theaters event
companies and asked if they had anything that was heading
for the garbage bin. Well, they got a huge response,
with everything from the actual red carpet from the BAF
to television awards, various fabrics, hundreds of tubes from a
bandage factory, and even backdrops from fashion shows by the

(00:43):
likes of Alexander McQueen. And hope is that it's the
start of a new trend, one in which a variety
of businesses and companies can contribute what they would normally
throw away to a worthwhile program, in this case, cleverly
called replay, And that's another edition of the Upside with
Jordan WBZ, Boston's news radio
