It looks like you have taken action on water conservation, we have too! Have you seen ‘Gyre’ by artist Christ Jordan? It is based on the famous Japanese painting ‘The Wave off Kanagawa'. His piece is made of over 2.4 million pieces of plastic garbage, the estimated number of pieces of garbage that end up in the ocean each hour! We couldn't believe this!
Inspired by ‘Gyre’ and other examples of recycled item art, the grade ones and twos created pieces to promote environmental awareness and water conservation made entirely of previously used items. Their environmental messages are everything from 'save the fish', 'don't litter', to 'save the people'!
They did a wonderful job working as both artists and environmentalists!
