C hange is all that remains constant in the
world. Our Earth too changes, grows and
recycles year after year continuously on its
own with its well defined ecosystem where all
that grows, goes back and the cycle continues.
One of the most striking and drastic of
departure is human waste, and the issue of
reducing single use plastic, the most
burning issue of current civilisation. It
cannot be right to manufacture billions of
objects that are used for a matter of
minutes, and then are with us for centuries.
Using plastic bags is very harmful for the
environment as they pose a serious threat
to the health of all living beings on the
earth. We don’t need a handful of people
doing zero waste perfectly, we need
millions of people doing it imperfectly.
Hence, it is essential to educate people
about the hazardous and
dangerous effects of single use
plastics. As we all know now, the
production and
disposal of plastic
generates greenhouse
gases and
hazardous waste.

Turning Art into action
against plastic menace:
Art has been an important means
to reflect the spirit of the times.
Artists have been trying to relate
between time and space between
the physical and psychical and
between finite and infinite. Art
also has a strong influence on
issues related to environmental
preservation. Artworks are
essential tools for ecological
activities that alert population to
urgent matters and help mobilize
people to fight for any cause of
national interest
break down into very small fragments
called micro plastic that can pollute the
ecosystem and harm organisms.
Due to mass production of plastic in the
form of food containers, bottles, fibers
etc, the plastic waste has
become a major
problem for
Marine and
ter restr ial
ecosystems.
