You can be involved by pledging to give up one plastic convenience and find an alternative. Millions of plastics are found in our oceans, waterways and our drinking water systems. Plastic bags blow into trees and across our land.
I think of myself as an environmental artist. Personally, I want to keep seeing the beauty of the mountains, the forest and the seas. I document moments in time, I do this because what is here today may not be here tomorrow. It is my way of supporting nature and wildlife in hopes that we can prevent additional extinction.
Opening soon in Vancouver is a special project in collaboration with the International Ornithological Congress. Artists painted small canvases that will be mounted together to created one large mural of birds that are on the endangered species list. There are 678 birds in the world that are on this list. Plastics have an in-pack on birds, nesting material now contains pieces of plastic.
Find a way to up-cycle, make something new instead of just throwing things into the recycle bin. Doing little things can make changes.
