. a public sculpture/"action" in collaboration with greenpeace
(photo credits: s.salloum)
* this sculpture was commissioned by greenpeace. the objective was to put pressure on the lebanese government to adopt the "zero waste" policy into the new (and first) law they were writing on waste management. after working in a highly public setting for four days, the government agreed to our demands. zero waste is currently being written into the new law!
