The Triangle

I found a variety of trash in my neighborhood and what caught me off guard was the fact that so many people in my neighborhood could have easily disposed of the trash properly. I found a glass bottle, a water bottle, and a Powerade bottle. I also found a lot of plastic, sandwich bags, Styrofoam, grocery ads, candy wrappers, gum wrappers, a condom wrapper, paper, plastic bags, a battery, band aid wrappers, and receipts near or on the sidewalk of my neighborhood. Most of the trash I found is recyclable, like the paper, battery, bottles and plastic bags. It’s ridiculous and sad to see so much unnecessary trash on the streets. My art project is called, “The Triangle” because on each recyclable item, there is a triangle on the bottom with a recyclable number in it. It does not take that much time and energy to dispose of trash properly and I just wanted to express just how crucial it is to recycle but making my art project into the shape of a triangle.
