Our Environmental Issue
• Our environmental issue is pollution in local parks. We solved this issue by collecting trash around these parks and using
the accumulated trash to create an art piece to ensure the garbage doesn’t go to waste.
People litter and fail to throw out their trash.
• Littering can lead to soil, water, and air pollution.
The trash we throw out can end up in our waterways, leading to
consuming these toxins and contaminants.
• Not only does littering affect humans, but these contaminants can
stunt plant growth and cause health issues in animals living in the
area
Idealization
• When we collected the trash, we noticed there was a large number of water bottles which sparked the idea to create an art 
piece made out of plastic bottles Once the trash was collected, we met and ideas and plans on how to complete the project.
Making of the Art Piece
• Our ideas narrowed down to a few options, including a water bottle
chandelier, a rocket ship, and paintings using reusable material.
• With that we gathered the construction materials which were hot glue
guns, scissors, and printing paper in the trash of one of the PSU berks
printing stations
With all materials and trash collected we made the construction of the
rocket ship made out of water bottles and reusable trash.
Reflection: With this project we realized how much local pollution there is in our local environment, and that we should definitely take better care of our environment that we live in
