Treatment of waste is a problem of
global impact. It involves everything human activity must dispose
of. In past decades the issue has escalated to absurd proportion.
Garbage has invaded streets, open fields and contaminated water
sources and the air we breathe. Even the stratosphere has been
reached by our ability to produce waste.
There has been a lot of talking about the best manners to dispose of
the litter modern lifestyle generates. Any attempt to modify this
scenario depends on new attitudes and changes in social behavior.
Conurbations and the urge to consume have deteriorated quality of
life. Residential and industrial waste has contributed to worsen
things. The richer and more consuming a society is, the more it
generates litter. Disposing of it correctly or, preferably,
recycling it is a challenge posed to all.
Thus we invite all graphic artists to embrace to cause and promote a
critical and well-humored reflection about the theme. It is the time
to put our ideas and creativity to work and help save the world.
Oh, yes, remember to recycle scrap paper. Good luck and creative
work to all!
