Sheila Michail Morovati is the president and founder of the Crayon Collection, a non-profit organization that has successfully been collecting crayons from restaurant chains nationwide and donating them to underserved schools internationally. With a degree in sociology from UCLA, Sheila seeks to highlight societal habits of waste, whether it be through crayons or more recently through lobbying from straw-bans. She was the catalyst for the ban of plastic straws, utensils and stirrers in the City of Malibu. Sheila believes that people want to do the right thing when it comes to the environment, but they must first know about what the right thing is in order to make a change in their own behavior. Her work at the Crayon Collection has been very successful because by the simple act of re-thinking trash, she has developed art education programming for schools who no longer have any art education due to budget cuts. She works closely with museums and artists in Los Angeles to seek out new project ideas to send to schools receiving the like-new crayons. She also just set a Guinness World Record with the largest crayon donation in history with over 1 million crayons donated to teachers at LAUSD and Head Start Centers in Los Angeles along with the Crayon Collection art education program, which reinserts art education into underserved schools. Sheila lives in Los Angeles with her husband and 2 children.

The end of the Industrial Age is the beginning of a new era for human beings. When the need for labor to create machines running on electricity began we developed factories, but moving people from farms and open skies into the sad dark structures designed for maximizing profits required an indoctrination to change the social values from physical strength and vigor to remaining in one place in a group being very still as you would as a clerk in an accounting office for a major corporation before software developers created programs to automate all accounting from real time inventory to real time sales with prorated expenses. It is a new world with cyberspace as an asset. Silver Rain Runningcloud offers Free Advice About Life in Twitter Spaces. Education is a favorite topic. Please join in. I am @srunningcloud. Thanks.
