I am currently an art student at Central Saint Martins in London, England and for my final piece I've decided to make a collection of hand bags made completely out of recycled products. My slogan is "Global Luxuries" I'm trying to produce awareness that no one has to give up their style and life style in order to be more eco friendly. I am just one person that is very interested in this matter and I know that many of my fellow art students are interested as well. We are encouraged at my university to used recycled products but what you are offering as amazing. I hope it catches on, on a more global scale. Artists and designers are constantly solving problems in the production of their work, why not try and change a bigger problem at the same time.

The artists are so creative that they are able to take trash and turn it into art. They keep damaging trash out of landfills and they add beauty to the world. I think that is a wonderful skill to have and it helps the environment so much. I'm glad that people are creative enough and care that much about the environment that they are willing to make art out of trash.
