Ashley Prince a junior at Peace College in Raleigh, N.C. discusses her art project in this video recorded in the Wellness Center during Student Showcase at Peace College.
"After seeing the amount of plastic bottle and cans that are used on a daily basis at Peace College, I decided to design a piece that would show this large number. Rather than simply putting a recycling symbol on a piece of paper, I wanted to actually use the recyclable items to deliver the message. The goals of this project were to encourage recycling through art, promote sustainable behavior and provoke thought by turning a common, recognizable symbol into a piece of art. With the help of the campus community, as well as family and friends at home, I collected all the bottle tops and can tabs over a period of a month. The final piece is created with 783 bottle tops and 467 can tabs."
