If you had to carry all the waste plastic you encounter every day, would you be more conscious of your plastic consumption? Ireland is the EU’s largest per capita producer of plastic waste at 73 kg per year. This is more than twice the EU average and data has shown that Ireland faces a stagnation when it comes to the percentage of the population who are recycling. In the next decade, Ireland's last three landfills will have reached their rubbish capacity and so we must face issues regarding our ever-growing waste problem.  Our work seeks to focus viewers on their own consumption as well as to visualise what life could be if we lose the privilege of neglecting our waste problem.
