Gallery: UK Beach Trash turned into Eco-Art Statement
The collection is a powerful environmental statement that I hope inspires others to reduce, reuse and recycle more.
Artist and environmentalist Stuart Haygarth recently walked from Kent to Land’s End, along the UK south coast, and created these thought-provoking collections from the beach trash he found along the way. The collection can be picked up in book-form at Art/Books and is a powerful environmental statement that I hope inspires others to reduce, reuse and recycle more.

Cool, but as I look at these I realise where I've seen this sort of thing before - "Curious George" did this in one episode!
(Curious George is a kids cartoon monkey who lives with the 'man in the yellow hat')
That's cool - I remember watching that show.
amazing. thx for sharing :)
Thanks @seckorama. If you have time, also check out Surfers against Sewage - an amazing charity that fights against beach trash, sewage, and other environmental damage. We also work with them through Search for the Planet.
Amazing trash ;)
