LITTERARTY Schools Waste Art Competition     

There are more than 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean. It is drowning in plastic!

A group of Maailma girls, with some help from the Primary Enviro girls, have created a sculpture called Drowning in Plastic for the new Litterarty competition as part of the Bondi Ocean Lovers Festival from March 17 – March 22. Information about the festival can be found at the following website. The sculptures will be on display at the Bondi Pavilion.

We have created a 100% recycled sculpture from salvaged materials based around a broken surfboard. Our aim was to use these materials to represent the natural beauty of the ocean. Wildlife are also at risk when rubbish ends up in our waterways. We have used some old netting to comment on the threat to wildlife. We want our work to create awareness regarding the harm humans are causing the ocean wildlife and environment. We want to promote thoughtful disposal of rubbish as well as raising awareness of the wider impact litter has. We want everyone who sees it to think more carefully about their consumption and disposal of waste and to know that even the smallest changes will make a difference.
