]]> Murmure is a team of two artists from France, Paul Ressencourt and Simon Roche, who want to raise awareness of environmental problems by illustrating how trash bags affect people’s and animals’ lives. They’re not trying to be subtle at all; instead, their art is straightforward and aims to show how directly our bad habits impact the world around us.

“The main idea was to play with the colors of a regular black garbage bag as much as possible,” Colossal quotes the team. “Not only for dramatic appeal, but also for the depth of shades and, somehow, the elegance of its texture and reaction to light.” In order to achieve this, they use graphite pencils.

They create art on different mediums, from paper to walls, but the message is always the same. Scroll down to see it.

Garbage Whale For several months we are developing our new project : « Garb(age) » that will be revealed in their upcoming exhibition in Paris in 2020. This series of works are based on poetical and oniric twists of garbage bags. This object is a symbol of our era and society of consumerism, that invades our everyday life and environment. This July, Murmure Street has been invited to the cultural festival V-Rox in Vladivostok (Russia) where they completed their first mural on the this theme. This scaled 1/1 mural titled « Garbage Whale » represent a garbage bag whale, a zoomorphic trash that serves as a reminder of the ecological disaster that is the « seventh continent » of plastic through the representation of this gracious and placid endangered animal. This acrylic painting was completed with brushes in order to give a manual rendering where the brush stroke brings life to the mural. #murmurestreet #streetart #streetartrussia #topstreetart #nicestreetart #globalstreetart #streetart_daily #streetartnews #streetart_official #streetart_addiction #muralart #painting #whalepainting #savetheplanet #savethewhales #savetheocean #juxtapozmag #juxtapoz #garbagebag #plasticbag #trashbag #tschelovek_graffiti #instagrafite #graffiti #rsa_graffiti

]]> Angela Haseltine Pozzi didn’t start as an environmentalist artist, but her evolution as an artist shifted when she noticed the immense amounts of plastic pollution on the pristine southern Oregon beaches. As she learned more about ocean pollution from plastics and marine debris she became motivated to do something about it. Thus, the Washed Ashore Project was born.

Now, together with a team of volunteers, she collects marine debris through beach cleanups and community workshops. The collected trash is then used to create large scale sculptures of sea life threatened by marine debris.  These sculptures now tour as the Washed Ashore Project traveling exhibit, educating and inspiring countless people from diverse backgrounds to take action in their own lives to prevent contributing to this global problem.

“As the beaches around the world wash up more stuff from the land and less from the sea I believe we must examine our relationship to rivers and oceans,” writes Haseltine Pozzi on her website. “I attempt to scoop up part of what might be below the blue waters and place it in front of us. In some ways it may be an escape, but at the same time a confrontation.”

Over 10,000 volunteers have helped clean beaches and worked with Washed Ashore to process over 20 tons of debris into over 70 sculptures of the animals affected by plastic pollution. As the leader of a team of dedicated employees and hundreds of volunteers, Haseltine Pozzi has vowed that this effort is her calling and “until we run out of plastic on the beach, we will keep doing our work.”

Here are some of their inspiring creations.

]]> When people say that they were moved by a documentary, very rarely do they mean that they were literally inspired to do something drastic about it. But, that’s exactly what happened to one 70-year-old grandmother after watching a documentary on plastic pollution.

Pat Smith, who was nicknamed by BBC Three as “Action Nan” as part of their “Amazing Humans” segment, spent 2018 picking up plastic from 52 beaches in the south coast of United Kingdom.

Since going viral for her beach cleanup, Smith has jumped on to work on other environmental projects.

Now, if only the rest of the world could be more like “Action Nan.”
