Adidas: statues made from recycled marine farmed waste plastics

Adidas has installed eight statues of female changemakers to celebrate women who are breaking boundaries in the worlds of sport, fashion and culture.

The activity follows research that revealed London has more statues of men (21%) and animals (8%) than it does of women (4%).

As part of the campaign to launch its new Adidas sports bra collection, which tackles the impact of poor support on sports participation and performance, the statues have been placed beside City Hall on the South Bank.

The women who have been made into the 3D artworks are Vivianne Miedema, Arsenal footballer; Eniola Aluko, footballer and commentator; Francesca Brown, footballer and chief executive of Goals4Girls; Ellie Goldstein, dancer and model; Emily Scarratt, rugby player; Tanya Compas, youth worker and activist; Asma Elbadawi, basketball player, poet and activist; and Sherrie Silver, dancer, choreographer and UN advocate.

Each statue was created from a scan that was 3D printed in an environmentally responsible way, using sustainably recycled marine farmed waste plastics from UK oceans. The statues will reside by City Hall for two weeks before being moved to long-term placements with the communities of the women involved.

Interviews and behind-the-scenes videos will be shared by each of the participating women on their own social media channels.

Hyperactive London is delivering the project.

The Adidas sports bra collection launched on 9 February following research highlighting that inadequate breast support led to movement-related breast pain in nearly half of female respondents. Adidas set out to redefine its current offering and create a range of sports bras that deliver added comfort and better fit.

To launch the bras, the brand released an image of bare-breasted women to highlight the variety of shapes and sizes of women's breasts.

On Twitter, alongside an image of 25 chests, it said: "We believe women's breasts in all shapes and sizes deserve support and comfort. Which is why our new sports bra range contains 43 styles, so everyone can find the right fit for them." The global campaign created by Adidas in partnership with TBWA\Neboko has received a mixed response.

In late 2014, The Forum - a charity supporting migrant and refugee communities and individuals in their integration into British society - published some new research that explored the experiences of loneliness through the eyes of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers living in London. Interviews were conducted with a wide range of people - from those who were receiving mentoring through The Forum's New Beginnings Mentoring Project to volunteers, doctors and psychologists.

The researchers found that although there were a number of reasons for people moving to the UK, 58% of migrants and refugees taking part in the research described loneliness and isolation as their biggest challenge living in London. A number of inter-connected challenges were also identified, which could compound feelings of loneliness and isolation such as:

Loss of family and friends

Lack of social networks

Language barriers

Lack of access to services and resources

Loss of status

Loss of identity

Loss of job or career

Cultural differences

Discrimination and stigma connected to being a foreigner

Isolating impact of government policies

These barriers are particularly apparent when there is no-one for a person to turn to, often having left friends, family or support networks in their country of origin. As one of the researchers involved in the project later explained in a blog:

"These challenges are inter-related and overlapping, trapping those who face them into a vicious circle and leading them into further isolation and loneliness and increasingly damaging their health. Feeling lonely is associated with increased mortality and reduced quality of life."

What can be done to address loneliness and isolation facing refugees and migrants?
The Forum therefore aims to support people to meet others and to build up these support networks through new relationships, and volunteering and educational activities. There are a number of recommendations presented in the report: better housing for migrants and refugees; better welfare support and cash benefits to travel around the city; the ability to undertake employment; and adequate advice and information.

In particular, improving access to language and further education would help migrants and refugees to build social relationships. Supporting people to learn the English language would reduce language barriers and help people to develop their social networks and integrate with others.

Seven strangers meet for brunch in Brooklyn. They have only two things in common: they were born roughy between 1998 and 2015, the cohort known as Generation Z, and they're willing to talk politics at the dining table - specifically about refugees.

The group is surrounded by white stucco walls, marble tabletops and potted palms - an ideal setting for an Instagram photoshoot. But none of these Gen Z-ers have a phone in their hand. For the next few hours all devices are tucked away while the conversation proceeds without distraction, save for the cameras taping them.

UNICEF and Purpose, a creative agency specializing in purpose-driven campaigns that impact policy, have organized this group to discuss the global refugee crisis.

"If we brought folks - even folks who think very differently from one another - around a table, they could relax, eat something and bond over that," says Gissou Nia, an international criminal lawyer and strategy director for Purpose. "The awkwardness of meeting a stranger gets stripped away."

Members of Generation Z are known for choosing their own preferred pronouns, leading online-offline protests and backing intersectional politics. They're a set of uniquely diverse, digital natives. And while they're also considered the loneliest generation, they're largely connected to the world via social media and can incite protests without leaving their bedrooms.

"The ultimate hope was to convene a group of change makers who would start to build solutions by them, for them because more than half of the world's refugees are children," says Nia. She helped bring together Gia Grier, 18, Ahmed Badr, 19, Abdalla Asem, 21, Soraya Morales Nuñez, 21, Fadumo Osman, 22, Latchmi Gopal, 24 and Julie Kim, 27.

Each of the video participants has a history of activism. They were selected via social media, and agreed to be filmed as a part of a to welcome refugees to dinner. Among several issues discussed over brunch, displaced persons emerged as the most pressing topic.

"I didn't feel like I knew enough about the refugee crisis to speak on it," says Gia Grier, a high school graduate from Brooklyn, N.Y. "I think by having conversations that can sometimes be challenging or uncomfortable, because we don't know too much about the topic at hand, we end up learning more about the world. I think challenging conversations are more rewarding."

Grier is taking a gap year before attending college, deferring enrollment in a move similar, she points out, to actress Yara Shahidi and Malia Obama. So, when Purpose asked her to host the Generation Z conversation, she was available to take it on as a passion project.

"I was coordinating with all these people I had never met before," says Grier, who, before the meeting, researched conversations about the refugee crisis on U.N. websites and in Teen Vogue, among others, and on aid and relief forums. "I challenged myself to learn more about the gravity of the issue."

Grier says the experience showed her how "we are all connected in this world," and exposed her to the work being done by others of her generation. "They do a really great job of raising consciousness about gun violence or what's happening in Israel and Palestine," says Grier. "They're not afraid to share more information about that. I feel like I'm learning a lot through watching their stories or just interacting with their posts."

Grier wasn't alone in feeling intimidated by the table topic. The daughter of Somali refugees, Fadumo Osman says, "I had to remind myself that I care about this issue and learning never really stops. No one was going to judge me for not having saved thousands of people already."

Osman, who has returned to San Jose, Calif., after graduating from NYU with a degree in computer science and politics, thinks Purpose found her through the Muslim ban hashtag. In college, she led NYU's chapter of New York State College Democrats and was outspoken on human rights issues.

"Having to represent the liberal voice on campus but personally having much more radical views was interesting," says Osman. "As a black Muslim woman, I can look at issues as a black person, as a Muslim, as someone whose parents are refugees. I knew what I believed in, I knew what I stood for. But I also had to understand that if I had the right to speak up and share my views, so did anyone else."

Meeting with other Gen Z-ers was refreshing, says Osman. "Going to protests, I always meet people who are much older than me," she says. "And even though I have a lot of friends on campus that cared about issues, it was almost always in setting of the classroom or a particular club - never over something like brunch."

But what was most eye-opening to Osman was seeing the diversity of interests at the table. "Not everyone worked on refugee rights," says Osman, "which made it cool to see their tactics on [issues] they care about. And to see that you can care about multiple issues at once. You don't have to be a one-issue person."

Ahmed Badr, a former Iraq refugee currently living in Houston, spoke about displacement from firsthand experience. A junior at Wesleyan University, he came to America with his family in 2008. Today, Badr is a U.S. citizen and says, "It's really a privilege to be in this country. We had to really beat the odds to get here, and we have to keep this in perspective."

Badr has traveled the world telling his refugee story, and now promotes youth storytelling as a means to self-empowerment.

"You can't expect everyone to share their stories on an international stage," says Badr. "But we need to have more representatives across different backgrounds. I can talk about my own experience and my background, but I can't be the only person doing this. I don't represent all of Gen Z."

Like Osman, who has a close connection to the refugee crisis, Badr is familiar with being the only Gen Z-er around when speaking on global forums. "Usually I'm the youngest person in the room and closest person in age is typically in their mid-30s. On one hand, it's a privilege to be a representative, but I can't be the only person."

Badr thinks that sometimes Gen Z doesn't feel like they're good enough to be a part of those spaces. "On one side is the systematic exclusion that happens," says Badr, "and on the other there are people who don't feel they are worthy of being in those spaces when in reality they are just as worthy as anyone else. You and your experience are valid enough."

Despite being the only one at the table with lived refugee experience, Badr says, "There wasn't anyone there who wanted to take up the whole space or take up the spotlight. Every single person around that table had different experiences, yet we could still find the common thread. We could still agree on something and disagree on [other] things. We had grown closer together by the end of [brunch]."

Badr hopes there will be more young people talking about the issue that brought him and six strangers together. "The refugee crisis isn't going away any time soon, unfortunately," says Badr. "In just a few years it's going to be us making decisions. We're already starting to change policy, or influence it at least."

"We're using whatever tools we have in our hands," echoes Osman. "We're finding different ways of making an impact. It may not look like the traditional ways of meeting in a community center, but it's happening in digital spaces."

Badr added: "The world is starting to realize we are definitely a part of the conversation and we deserve to be a part of the conversation because these are issues that are affecting us and our futures."

The gathering ended but the participants have kept in touch, collaborating on social projects and sharing information about their separate interests. "I think we created a group of friends," says Nia, who as strategy director played a part in the team effort to bring this group together.

Grier, as moderator, asked the group for ideas to solve the refugee crisis. Ultimately, they decided to host their own conversation, gathering strangers around a table, says Grier. She now hopes to travel to Africa and India once she's in college.

"I think this concept of gathering people around a table can work in so many different ways," says Grier. "The goal is to raise consciousness and make [the refugee crisis] more of a human issue, to give people a human entry point to a conversation that is often lost in jargon and statistics."

Let's face it, you'd be lost without your mobile.

That doesn't change when you're homeless.

For a homeless person, a mobile is now as essential as a sleeping bag and a warm pair of socks. Information about jobs, help and shelter, the stuff that could lift a person out of homelessness - it's all online.

With the giffgaffgaff, giffgaff can harness the power of technology and the spirit of community to find a voice for the voiceless in society.

7 million people in the UK experience symptoms of agoraphobia. Linked to anxiety, agoraphobics avoid public transport, open, enclosed, or crowded spaces. The problem is, they fear escape may be difficult and help will not be readily available.

The app 'giffgaff gotU' is solving this by empowering those who struggle with agoraphobia to leave any situation before panic kicks in. 5G is utilized to instantly detect when users are in an environment they perceive as triggering. The app sends them notifications to either redirect them to their closest preselected safe space, or distract them - before they begin to feel overwhelmed.

Are you interested in performing community service? Do you want examples of service projects you can do? Community service is a great way to help others and improve your community, and it can also help you gain skills and experience to include on your resume and college applications.

Read on for dozens of community service ideas to help you get started volunteering.

What Is Community Service?

Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits others. It is often done near the area where you live, so your own community reaps the benefits of your work. You do not get paid to perform community service, but volunteer your time.

Community service can help many different groups of people: children, senior citizens, people with disabilities, even animals and the environment. Community service is often organized through a local group, such as a place of worship, school, or non-profit organization, but you can also start your own community service projects.

Many people participate in community service because they enjoy helping others and improving their community. Some students are required to do community service in order to graduate high school or to receive certain honors. Some adults are also ordered by a judge to complete a certain number of community service hours.

Why Should You Participate in Community Service?

There are numerous benefits to participating in community service, both for yourself and others. Below are some of the most important benefits of volunteering:

Gives you a way to help others

Helps improve your community

Can help strengthen your resume and college applications

Can be a way to meet new friends

Often results in personal growth

Gives you a way to gain work experience and learn more about certain jobs

How Should You Use This List?

This list of over one hundred community service examples is organized by category, so if you're particularly interested in working with, say, children or animals, you can easily find community service activities more related to your interests.

In order to use this list most effectively, read through it and make note of any community service ideas that match your interests and that you may want to participate in. Some considerations to keep in mind are:

Who would you like to help?

Is there a specific group of people or cause you are passionate about? Look for projects that relate to your passion and interests. You may also just want to perform particular community service activities that allow you to do hobbies you enjoy, like baking or acting, and that's fine too.

Do you want a community service activity that is reoccurring or a one-time event?

Perhaps you don't have enough time to regularly devote to community service. In that case, it may be better to look for opportunities that only occur once or sporadically, such as planning special events or helping build a house.

What kind of impact do you want to have?

Some people prefer to participate in community service activities that have a quantifiable impact, for example, activities where you know the specific number of kids you tutored, dollars you raised, or cans of food you collected. This is in contrast to activities that don't have such clear numbers, such as creating a garden or serving as a volunteer lifeguard. Some people prefer quantifiable activities because they feel they look stronger on college applications, or because they simply enjoy knowing their exact impact on the community.

What skills would you like to gain?

Many community service activities can help you gain skills. These skills can range from teaching to medicine to construction and more. If there is a particular skill you'd like to learn for future classes, jobs, or just out of personal interest, you may want to see if there is a community service activity that helps you learn that skill.

Next Steps

Now that you know what your options are for community service, you can take the following steps to start getting involved:

#1: Look over your interests: Which activities seem most appealing to you? Were they mostly in one particular category, like children or the environment? If so, that's a good starting place for choosing specific organizations to contact.

#2: Figure out how much time you can devote to community service: Are you available for two hours every week? Are you not free on a regular basis but can volunteer for an entire weekend now and then?

Think about transportation as well and how you'll be able to get to different locations. Knowing this information will help you choose which community service projects to pursue, and it's helpful information for volunteer coordinators to know.

#3: Do some research to see what projects you can do in your community: Check at your school, place of worship, or town hall for more information on volunteering. You can also contact the place where you'd like to perform your community service, such as a particular animal shelter or nursing home, and ask if they take volunteers.

#4: Start volunteering! This list ranges from small projects that you can complete on your own in a few hours, to much larger projects that will take more time and people. If you find a project you can start on your own, do it!

If you want to do a project where you'll need more resources or people, check around your community to see if a similar program already exists that you can join. If not, don't be afraid to start your own! Many organizations welcome new volunteers and community service projects.

The new R-rated comedy isn't out in the UK for another couple of weeks, but the comedy legend has been having fun promoting it state side.

Rogen visited a grocery store and set up a stunt to scare unsuspecting shoppers.

With the use of an animatronic cantaloupe, loaf of bread and sausage, the New Yorkers doing their groceries had quite the fright.

The actor voiced the food from another room in the store, having a lot of fun mocking those passing by.

Sausage Party is the first R-rated 3D-animated movie ever made and sees innocent supermarket groceries discovering their shocking true purpose.

As their buyer prepares a meal they see their ultimate fate in a Fourth of July feast and desperately plot to escape.

The rude and outrageous comedy was certainly never intended for small children.

In June a cinema shocked children with the explicit cartoon trailer before a screening of Finding Dory.

The film features the voices of Rogen, Jonah Hill and James Franco, joined by Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, Bill Hader, Paul Rudd and Edward Norton.

Rogen says its taken him eight years to get it made as most film studios were concerned about the content.

Fearless Girl is a bronze sculpture by Kristen Visbal, commissioned by State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), a large asset management company. The statue was installed on March 7, 2017, in anticipation of International Women's Day the following day. It depicts a girl four feet high, promoting female empowerment. It is located across from the New York Stock Exchange Building in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City.

Fearless Girl was commissioned to advertise for an index fund that comprises gender-diverse companies that have a relatively high percentage of women among their senior leadership. A plaque originally placed below the statue stated: "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with "SHE" being both a descriptive pronoun and the fund's NASDAQ ticker symbol.

The statue was first installed at the northern tip of Bowling Green on Broadway, facing down the Charging Bull statue. Following complaints from that statue's sculptor, Arturo Di Modica, it was removed in November 2018 and relocated to its current location the following month. A plaque with footprints was placed on the original site of Fearless Girl.

Fearless Girl measures approximately 50 inches (130 cm) tall and weighs about 250 pounds (110 kg). As first placed, it faced Charging Bull, a much larger and heavier bronze statue that is 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and weighs 7,100 pounds (3,200 kg).

Fearless Girl is meant to "send a message" about workplace gender diversity and encourage companies to recruit women to their boards. The plaque below the statue stated: "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with SHE referring to both the gender of the subject and the fund's NASDAQ ticker symbol.

The commission by State Street Global Advisors specified that the statue should depict a girl with hands on her hips and chin up, with a height of 36 inches, which Kristen Visbal and her collaborators then increased to 50 inches, to better match the size of Charging Bull. Still, Visbal commented that "I made sure to keep her features soft; she's not defiant, she's brave, proud, and strong, not belligerent". She modeled the sculpture on two children from Delaware "so everyone could relate to the Fearless Girl."

The statue was installed on March 7, 2017-the day before International Women's Day-by State Street Global Advisors, in a campaign developed by advertising agency McCann New York. SSGA was celebrating the first anniversary of its "Gender Diversity Index" fund that "invests in U.S. large-capitalization companies that rank among the highest in their sector in achieving gender diversity across senior leadership". The concept for the statue was developed by Senior Art Director Lizzie Wilson and Senior Copywriter Tali Gumbiner. Wilson and Gumbiner established both the idea for the statue as well as the overall look of the girl using countless moodboards and imagery, which Visbal referenced.

Fearless Girl was originally given a one-week City Hall permit that was later extended to 30 days. Later, it was announced that the statue would remain in place through February 2018. Among those advocating for the statue to stay longer was U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York's 12th congressional district, who stated, "This statue has touched hearts across the world with its symbolism of the resiliency of women." New York City Public Advocate Letitia James wrote a letter that supported keeping the statue, "Fearless Girl stands as a powerful beacon, showing women-young and old-that no dream is too big and no ceiling is too high".

A petition on Change.org asking for the statue to be made permanent gathered 2,500 signatures in its first 48 hours. Efforts to make the statue permanent continued after the statue was granted a one-year permit. In April 2018, after Fearless Girl had been in place for thirteen months, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that both Charging Bull and Fearless Girl would be moved to a location facing the New York Stock Exchange. The move would occur before the end of 2018.

The statue was removed from its original location at Bowling Green on November 28, 2018. On the spot where the statue stood was placed a marker which read, " Fearless Girl is on the move to the New York Stock Exchange. Until she's there, stand for her." The plaque has footprints where people can stand. The statue was unveiled on December 10 at its new site facing the New York Stock Exchange Building.

Juxtaposition with Charging Bull

Di Modica, who installed Charging Bull in 1989, asked that the statue of the girl be removed, arguing that the piece exploited his work for commercial purposes and altered the perception of the bull. He called Fearless Girl "an advertising trick" that he wanted relocated.

On April 12, 2017, Di Modica and his attorney, former New York Civil Liberties Union director Norman Siegel, challenged city officials who let the Fearless Girl statue be installed. Di Modica said that the statue corrupted Charging Bull's artistic integrity by distorting the intent of his statue from "a symbol of prosperity and for strength" into a villain, and does so for SSGA's commercial gain. Siegel said a lawsuit had not been filed as of yet. De Blasio supported keeping the statue, tweeting that "Men who don't like women taking up space are exactly why we need the Fearless Girl."

Feminist concerns

Some women criticized the statue as "corporate feminism" that violated their own feminist principles. The New York Times columnist Ginia Bellafante called it "an exercise in corporate imaging" by State Street, which, she wrote, had entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the United States Department of Justice, agreeing to pay more than $64 million to resolve fraud charges for secretly billing clients for unwarranted commissions. "Corporate feminism", she wrote, "operates with the singular goal of aiding and abetting a universe of mothers who tuck their daughters in at night whispering, 'Someday, honey, you can lead the emerging markets and sovereign debt team at Citigroup, and then become a director at Yahoo.'" Christine Emba, an opinion writer for The Washington Post, wrote that the statue "portrays the empowered woman as a child, reinforcing the idea of femaleness as cute and inoffensive-a child with potential, maybe, but not all the way there."

Disputes over commercial rights

On February 14, 2019, State Street Global Advisors filed a lawsuit against Kristen Visbal, claiming that she has made and sold replicas of the statue in violation of her contract with the company. The suit claims the artist made at least three unauthorized Fearless Girl reproductions that could damage the company's global campaign in support of female leadership and gender diversity. Court filings reported that replica Fearless Girl statues were selling for as much as $250,000.

On 25 February 2021, SSGA took Maurice Blackburn (an Australian law firm) to the Federal Court in Australia alleging that one of the Fearless Girl's replicas constituted copyright and trademark infringement. Justice Jonathan Beach found in favour of Maurice Blackburn (MBL) finding there was no violation of SSGA's trademark, since the replica's name "fearless girl" was used in a descriptive way. In other words, MBL were able to rely upon the defence of acting in good faith under s.122(1)(b)(i) of Trade Marks Act 1995. The copyright infringement claim under s.36 Copyright Act 1968 also failed as MBL were able to rely upon the defence of innocent infringement. Overall, this meant that MBL are able to display their Australian replica legally.

As of January 2022, the permit for the statue's placement on city-owned property expired on November 23, 2021. Visbal is seeking its renewal. There is a on-going dispute over what rights are held by the artist and by its sponsor, State Street Global Advisors

Other incidents

On May 29, 2017, artist Alex Gardega added a statue of a small dog, titled Peeing Pug, and removed it after approximately three hours.

Gothamist reported on March 20, 2017, that masked activists had covered the statue in " Make America Great Again" apparel and a US flag. They also placed pro- Donald Trump signs on it, including one reading "VETS B4 ILLEGALS" and another with a drawing of Pepe the Frog.

On October 6, 2017, State Street, the company that funded Fearless Girl, paid $5 million to settle a lawsuit from its female and minority employees who alleged the company violated equal pay rights.

As reported by Bloomberg News, analysts from marketing firm Apex Marketing estimated that the statue resulted in $7.4 million in free publicity for SSGA as of April 2017, broken down into $201,075 worth of free radio coverage, $393,047 worth of free social media coverage, $3,115,751 worth of free TV coverage, and $3,729,926 worth of free online/print news coverage.

Fearless Girl is one of only two campaigns that have ever won four Grand Prix at Cannes. It won in the Glass (which deals with marketing addressing gender inequality) and PR categories, and tying for first in the Outdoor category alongside a campaign by Twitter.

A reproduction of the sculpture was unveiled outside the Grand Hotel in the Norwegian city of Oslo on March 8, 2018. It faces the Norwegian parliament Stortinget.

A reproduction was revealed by Kristen Visbal at Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia, before Women's Day at March 8, 2019. It is planned to stand there for four years.

A reproduction was placed in Paternoster Square, near the London Stock Exchange during spring 2019.

In March 2019, St. Timothy's School displayed a reproduction on its campus.
