🎨 @VonWong' #TurnOffThePlasticTap was a global campaign to raise awareness about plastic pollution.
Using recycled plastic and waste, the structure has been recreated around the world to advocate for cutting our reliance on plastic that leaves a permanent mark on our planet.
What better way to raise awareness about pollution than making art out of it? 🇨🇦 artist Benjamin Von Wong took on the challenge and is now recognized internationally for his creativity to encourage people to rethink their plastic usage🙌 #TurnOffThePlasticTap
