New exhibit at 'Project Redefine'
The Spencer Museum of Art opened its latest exhibit, "It Came from the Sky," on April 16. The exhibit was installed by artist-in-residence Jin Shan, who is based in Shanghai, and is the first step of the Spencer's "Project Redefine" movement. This movement is an effort to expand the types of exhibits that are part of the Spencer's permanent collection.
According to Bill Woodard, information officer for the museum, the installation features a seven-foot policeman descending from the ceiling.

ENVIRONMENT

Coinciding with the celebration of Earth Week, one local grocery store is striving to be more environmentally friendly. The Merc, located at 901 Iowa St., said goodbye to plastic bags this weekend after shoppers that it surveyed requested the switch.
Brian Phillips, store operations manager, said the request for providing only reusable bags has been a long time coming.
Last year, The Merc gave 210,000 bag refunds, a small discount off a grocery bill, to customers who used reusable sacks. In contrast, the store used 150,000 plastic bags, according to Phillips.
"Environmentally sustainable practices are a big part of what we do," Phillips said. "People have kind of come to expect it from The Merc."
Customers still have plenty of choices for carrying out their groceries. They have the
option of bringing their own reusable bags from home, using cardboard boxes or paper bags provided by the store or not using any bags at all.
Though the change may be new to some customers, others say bringing reusable bags has become a habit. Lawrence resident and Merc customer Charles Hart said he had been bringing his own bags for five years.
"The little things that we can do to conserve and consume less is always a good thing," Hart said.
The change is also part of what The Merc stands for.
"A statement about how the organization must operate says to be an organization that exemplifies environmental, economic and social sustainability, so it was a part of satisfying that," Phillips said.
Other grocery stores around Lawrence are also using environmentally friendly practices. Aldi, 3025 Iowa St., encourages shoppers to bring their
own reusable bags. Aldi has a national policy to charge for paper or plastic bags at the register, according to its website. Checkers, 2300 Louisiana St., also offers discounts for customers who use their own bags.
plastic bags.
"A lot of people bring their own bags now, but a lot of people still like plastic bags," said Dan Callan, store manager at Checkers. "We still have a demand for them."

The Merc, 901 Iowa St., will soon be ridding itself completely of plastic bags because of customer input.
