Glass bottles, plastic bags and other waste that would end up filling landfills or floating in the sea have, in the hands of some artists, become a form of sustainable art that highlights the degradation of the planet and surprises with its originality. The possibilities stretch as far as the imagination.

Art and the environment appeal to reason and feelings. What happens when we mix them? The answer is environmental art, a movement adopted by artists of different disciplines, who are inspired by nature or use it as a raw material, transmitting its beauty and encouraging us to take care of it.

Brushing our teeth with the tap running, drinking bottled water or throwing chewing gum on the ground. These and many other everyday actions show that we are not always aware of how we pollute the environment. According to a United Nations report, more than 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced every year, of which less than 10% is recycled and 11 million tonnes end up in lakes, rivers and seas. We therefore need to adopt small daily habits that help protect our planet.
