Life with less plastic
This week's mural is one I found on our last visit to MOTAT. According to information found from the Auckland City Council, this particular one was painted by Australian/New York based artist "Vexta". It is based on a mediation of ideas, dreams, plastic particles and the interconnectness of life.
In 2016 MOTAT commissioned a number of murals to make the site more vibrant and appealing for their visitors. This mural named "A world without plastic" is part of a partnership with Pangeaseed's "Seawalls: murals for oceans" which was an international event that took place of that year.
Here in NZ, plastic bags of a certain width and weight with handles have been banned. So in supermarkets you can only use the thin plastic bags for vegetables, meat is obviously enclosed in plastic - if you go through the checkout they only supply paper bags or reusable bags that you have to buy or you can bring your own bags. But we still have a long way to go, companies need to get in on the act by not wrapping every single product in plastic.
Linking up with Mural Monday and Our World Tuesday.

I don´t want to exaggerate, I only saw this a couple of times, yet, it is "plural". And sad.
Thanks for participating Amy.
