A new exhibition called Out To Sea: The Plastic Garbage Project is currently on an international tour with scheduled stops at museums in Germany, Finland, Denmark, and France. The project originated in Switzerland at the Zurich Design Museum (ZHDK) and is currently showing at Hamburg's Museum for Arts and Crafts (MKG). Tackling mankind's destruction of the planet with "useful," "everyday" plastic (we've currently produced enough to wrap the planet in plastic wrap 6 times over), the exhibit tries to bring to light plastic's damaging impact on the ecosystem since it doesn't decompose. A review in English here at Spiegel; also a photostream here. In Zurich, 400 school groups have already visited, the first 1/2 of the exhibit "elucidating" ocean ecology, and the second 1/2, our heedless, perhaps obsessive use of plastics in our daily lives.*Photo credit/uploaded by Spiegel, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe
