세계 곳곳의 재활용 사례: Recycling Around the World


Recycling Around the World




November 15 is America Recycles Day, an annual event launched in 1997 by the National Recycling Coalition. The need to reuse and recycle raw materials has never been as urgent as it is today. The human race has reached a worldwide population of 7 billion, and America is responsible for consuming a disproportionate share of the planet's resources. In many parts of the world, recycling is done by necessity. In others, artists, governments, and businesses have found creative and useful ways to reuse materials -- a plastic bottle may find itself reborn as artwork, a warm blanket, or fuel oil. Collected here are photographs of various recycling efforts around the world, ranging from small and whimsical to industrial in scale.

우리가 살고 있는 지구의 황폐화는 갈수록 심해지고 있다. 지구 온난화로 인한 기후 변화와 환경 오염은 살고 있는 우리의 삶에 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 게다가 70억의 사람에게 필요한 자원도 고갈되고 있어 자원과 환경을 아끼고 정화하는 Recycling, 재활용을 하는 운동과 생활화가 우리의 관심과 실행 부분이 되고 있다. 재활용에 그치는 것만이 아니라 승화하여 예술적인 감각으로 새로운 것을 재생산하여 유용하게 쓰는 일도 생기고 있다. 지구 곳곳에서 벌어지고 있는 관련 사진을 게재한다.
