"Eco-Art Challenge" addresses the environmental issue of fast-delivery packaging trash through seminars and collective art creation. In China, 4 billion paper boxes and 7-8 billion plastic bags are generated every year due to fast-delivery packages, polluting farm lands and the ocean.
Our project invites experts and innovators on this topic to share their knowledge and experiences. After getting insights, the participants will together create art piece that addresses this environmental issue.
Seminars: learn insights from an environmentalist and a scientist & artist on fast-delivery waste
Challenge: sign up for a week-long free-from-plastic-packaging challenge
Art: Turn fast-delivery waste into a creative whale sculpture
BYOB: Although we have been collecting fast-delivery bags, Bring Your Own (plastic) Bags for Art is more meaningful.
