Wealth of information from waste

A recent exhibition of artworks based on garbage attempted to educate people on how wasteful consumption is destroying the planet

Garbage has negative associations such as dirt, stink, germs, corruption and something useless. However, a recent art exhibition based on garbage only, proved that "useless thing" is actually of practical significance.

The show Dear Pretty Rubbish, recently organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature and digital media art company Blackbow in Beijing, focused on wasteful consumption and re-examined the relationship between people's lifestyle and garbage, as well as the environmental problems caused by it, according to organizers.
