When we went to the National Zoo in July there was an exhibit of animal art made out of trash that was found in the ocean.
These were scattered throughout the zoo. There were several near the entrance. I heard one kid ask her father tentatively if there were any animals in this zoo that weren’t made out of trash.

It is a good reminder that our oceans are drowning in trash. Want to find out more about that?

Definitely amazing! I love the idea of making art out of whatever you find. Thanks for sharing, and here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
That looks amazing!
Great reminder to not litter and pollute the environment! The artists actually created some interesting sculptures from the reclaimed trash. Pretty cool!
Awesome exhibitions! I can’t believe they are so detailed and well done.
I love these animals made from trash. I don’t see the problem with them being the only animals in the zoo. 🙂
That’s a very thought-provoking exhibit.
I love these. We saw some in Paris, about a decade ago. It’s great – and makes a powerful statement too.
