In addition to its primary sense of "wasteful", the word is also used to mean "impious; irreverent" or "more than one deserves".</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #0645ad;">[2]</span></p> |

| | <p style="margin-bottom: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;">It's inevitable to be part of a <em>Mottainai </em>chain of events when you move to New York City. The spoil of fuel on oversized cars, the excess of lights when nobody is watching and the <em>Matryoshka</em> Russian doll concept for packing the "food to go" inside of a container, inside of another and another container.</p> |
| | <p style="margin-bottom: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;">Thanks, but no thanks… I don't need that plastic bag. </p> |
| | <p style="margin-bottom: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;">If you see the trash as bricks, then you are extremely rich in this city, and also you can create a huge conscience about your everyday Mottainay.</p> |

| | <p style="margin-bottom: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">Local Project, after using for 6? years 45-10 Davis Street in Queens for art events, was able to get an adjacent space of 33 x 13 feet. This is going to be added to the original gallery.</p> |
| | <p style="margin-bottom: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;">This new white canvas had to be a flexible area which lets many different activities go on, such as: bi and tri dimensional art shows, lectures, fairs, music concerts, theater plays, parties, office and meeting, etc…</p> |
| | <p><a title="Maquette by _foam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/8036830543/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8033/8036830543_f49daa10ca_z.jpg" alt="Maquette" width="640" height="640" /></a></p> |
| | <p style="margin-bottom: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">After taking all these pieces out of the blender, the result is <em>Matryoshka</em> modules made out of <em>Mottainai</em> New York rests. The industrial dispose known as wooden pallet shaped some moving tables that fit into some moving stage cubes, into the 33 x 13 space, into the 45-10 area in the 5 Pointz building. </p> |
| | <p style="margin-bottom: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;">Everything will be on wheels, so the user can transform the space with infinite possibilities in a matter of minutes. </p> |

| | <p style="margin-bottom: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">The building process has been materialized by many Local Project historical collaborators, and the architect will move from his house to LP by a 15 miles ride in al old bicycle, refraining from fuel use in all of that period.</p> |
| | <p style="margin-bottom: 6px; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Pallet Project @ Local Project is the result of recycling waste, transport and old human relations.</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">.</span></p> |
