| 説明 | In commemoration of World Environment Day 2011, the U.S. Mission sponsored Mona Sfeir’s “Recycling Labyrinth.” This large scale installation art work was composed of 8,000 plastic bottles, the same number of bottles that go into landfills worldwide every second. The exhibit was installed in the beautiful gardens of the Palais des Nations in Geneva.The focus of this work of art was to call attention to the challenge of global waste management. “To reduce, reuse and recycle are very important steps in dealing with our waste and this strategy has long been the focus for many environmentalist," according to the artist, Mona Sfeir. "However, I made this piece together with local volunteers to emphasize that it is time for us to eliminate the concept of waste all together. We need to develop solutions that bring environmentalists and industrialists together with the common goals of living harmoniously with our planet and creating human prosperity—this can only happen if we redesign our products and packaging from the very beginning.”U.S Mission Photo by Eric BridiersWatch the video about this project on YouTube:www.youtube.com/user/usmissiongeneva#p/u/0/sJUkiEWS9wI |
