The Washed Ashore Project aims to make a change. The brainchild of environmentalist artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, it raises awareness about plastic pollution through community cleanups and workshops. The collected trash is then used to create large scale sculptures of sea life threatened by marine debris.

It all started when Haseltine Pozzi noticed the immense amounts of plastic pollution on the pristine southern Oregon beaches. Now, together with a team of over 10,000 volunteers, she works to eliminate plastic waste. So far, over 20 tons of debris were turned into over 70 sculptures of the animals. These sculptures tour as the Washed Ashore Project traveling exhibit, educating and inspiring countless people to take action in their own lives to prevent contributing to this global problem.

“As the beaches around the world wash up more stuff from the land and less from the sea I believe we must examine our relationship to rivers and oceans,” writes Haseltine Pozzi on her website. “I attempt to scoop up part of what might be below the blue waters and place it in front of us. In some ways it may be an escape, but at the same time a confrontation.”

To Singer, zero waste means that she does not produce any garbage whatsoever. “No sending anything to landfill, no throwing anything in a trash can, nothing. However, I do recycle and I do compost,” she explains on her website. “We are supposed to be the future of this planet and here we are with our trash, messing it up,” she stresses.

Amassing more than 300 thousand dedicated followers, Singer documents her journey, proving that conscious consumption can be fun, stylish, and cost-effective. Because the truth is, our earth deserves better and we can do better.

Take a look for yourself.

His recent art installation called “Plastikophobia,” is made of 18,000 plastic cups collected over the course of just a day and a half with the help of small group of volunteers. These cups were taken from numerous hawker centers across Singapore. They spent more than 28 hours cleaning the pile of dirty plastic cups and spent days transforming these into a shiny crystal cave.

“With all the pieces assembled and in place, we put the installation to the test by combining a Broncolor Balloon Lamp with a contemporary dancer, Jialin Neo. With tiny LED fairly lights pulsing across the entire installation, we had to drag the shutter and put our flash on the lowest possible power setting to get the effect of a glowing earth surrounded by a sea of plastics,” Von Wong wrote on his website.

The project aims to raise awareness about the serious impact of plastic waste in our environment particularly the ocean.
