Garbage is a major problem in Phuket and Thailand, as well as many other places in the world. Since the demand of consumption goods has increased, and without any good plans to manage garbage, rubbish increases daily until finally an enormous amount is present.
Every year a lot of garbage is dumped into the sea, causing problems for marine life including fish, crabs, shrimps and oysters, many of which find themselves unable to survive in such a polluted environment. Pollution in the sea has a direct impact on these animals and can also cause food poisoning if people eat the sick animals.
In this exhibition, garbage from the sea has been transformed into works of art. This has the added benefit of the garbage no longer lying on the beach as well.
This exhibition is a great way to raise awareness of sea pollution to younger generations and to help them appreciate the value of the sea.
The event begins at 6 pm at “Nakonnai Art Music” 84/34 Saiyuan Soi 2, Visat Rd, T. Rawai, A. Muang, Phuket 83130. Contact 086 683 2188.
