Maine Artist

Jeff Clapp

I was inspired a few years ago by a National Geographic showing all the trash left on Mount Everest. I realized I could make a difference with that environmental problem. I went to Nepal and recovered the pile of cylinders in the picture. Being a Maine craftsman I knew I cloud make beautiful sculptures from the cylinders and created the Bells From Everest. I even found a way to use the last scraps of metal produced during the creation of my sculptures. We made The Everest Ornaments. The only souvenir from Mount Everest which represents the Maine philosophy of never letting anything useful go to waste. Reduce, reuse, and recycle. They make a wonderful holiday gift that reminds everyone to use their imaginations and do their part to keep the planet clean. www.bellsfromeverest.com

It makes this guy angry when ski resorts don\'t have good recycling programs. I come and stay with my buddies for a week every year and we always have to take our recyclables home with us!
