With a population of 7 billion people, there’s a lot to think about when observing our everyday living habits. Perhaps the most important idea is that of a delicate planet that needs to be taken care of, balanced against the delicate lives of the living beings that inhabit that world. Humans are making the biggest impacts on our planet with how we choose to live in this world. In particular, what we do with things that we need to dispose. Plastic bags were the ultimate convenient and cheap creation for a consumerist-based lifestyle, but we didn’t think about the impact that non-biodegradable products had on the life of our only home.
Miha Artnak created this Plastic (bag) tree as a reminder that it doesn’t take much to allow nature to be overtaken by our own irresponsibility with our products. We can’t keep making garbage perpetually without thinking about how we’ll get rid of it. And if we’re not careful, there won’t be anyplace left to put our garbage, and that will eventually impact our life and health as well as that of our own little planet. We’re way past just talking about it. The time to fix this is now, because it’s fast approaching a point of no return.
Just a thought…
