Surf Beauty vs Plastic Pollution

The Surfrider Foundation would like to remind you that almost 90% of all material floating in the ocean is plastic, and every square mile of ocean contains 46,000 pieces of the stuff. These are scary statistics, especially because most of this pollution exists in international waters, so no one’s taking responsibility for it. The print campaign was conceived by Arnold Worldwide’s Australia Office, Arnold Furnace, with help from Cream Studios.

Landfill or Traditional Chinese Landscapes?

Photographer Yao Lu has this to say: “Today, China is developing dramatically and many things are under constant construction. Many things have disappeared and continue to disappear.” Hence it’s ingenious for him to set these photos of local landfills in a manner inspired by traditional landscape paintings from the 10th century.
