This week, we came across an interesting article detailing the scale of the problem of plastic in our oceans.

20th century civilisation was built on oil & the commercial success of the West was built on the plastics that became the material of choice for most industries whether focused on the consumer or on business.

Plastic is a wonderful product: it has many applications, it can be moulded, shaped & turned into more or less anything; it can withstand the elements & it can make the packaging & preservation of items a doddle. The problem with an easily created & indestructible material has been seen in recent years: we live in a disposable society where things are thrown away.

When we dispose of items without care, waste mounts up & the environment bears the brunt. Entire Recycling hate this idea. Plastic should never be waste. Plastic is valuable, plastic can be recycled & it should never come to this.

Take a look at Morgana Matus’s article & artwork below & see what you think.
