Whale Sculpture Made Out Of 5 Tons Of Plastic Ocean Waste

Lesley Chang and Jason Klimoski collected as much plastic waste out of the oceans as they could in four months and shaped the waste into "Skyscraper," an almost four-story tall whale pushing out of one of Bruges' main canals. It's a reminder of the 150 million tons of plastic in our waters.

Whale Sculpture Made Out Of 5 Tons Of Plastic Ocean Waste

Awareness helps, but action to change for the better creates the difference... nice piece n strong message 👍

[@stel3314]

Jahha H If you think about it, they’re taking the plastic needed for the sculpture from the ocean and at the same time spreading awareness. So it’s a win-win 😊

[@michellejohnson9177]

Recycling plastic into art would be a wonderful way to decorate cities and reuse and not waste

[@MrsRemi]

Absolutely stunning piece of art and lots of dedication behind a strong message! Thanks for sharing this c:

I’m from Bruges and I remember when it was in the channel it was during an art exhibition treaout the entire city with different art pieces dedicated to global warming I remember the whale being huge and it was beautifully

[@elvinabarremaecker9805]

Thats in Belgium i know that because i live here its very cool to see in real life Dutch: Dat is in België i weet dat omdat ik hier woon het is echt cool om in het echt te zien.

[@bikinibandit3115]

Is this plastic whale sculpture made in 1:1 ratio compared to a real life whale?

[@matthewcadreau3532]

nice

[@careyostrer6193]

So scary. Wonderful wake up call but goodness it’s frightening and tragic

[@sapnabhatia3469]

Wow .... What a great initiative to reduce pollution 😮👏👏👌👌

[@JamesBrowett]

But the plastic at the bottom will contaminate the water

[@al2102]

They probaby stopped when the whale touched the water

[@HenryJohn79]

@@al2102 yes

[@fishwithtwoeyes]

They just be relocating plastic, putting it back in the water just in a cool shape

[@dbuc4671]

0:26 idk why but this perspective triggers my trypophobia 😭😭

[@Searchingtheworld7183]

First,looks impossible to attach all the parts of the whale then,When I see the result,WOW that's amazing!

[@cluedobox2883]

This makes me happy :)

[@gem2148]

Amazing

[@lanimabxn5012]

Ey nice, i see this whale everyday when i go to school

[@NANI-xn5zp]

Great way to use some plastic!

[@nicolelai4384]

Gorgeous

[@ValmisFilm]

the question is - how does the plastic get to the ocean? Whose fault is it? Why do we not make them go to jail and pay huge fines? Ridiculous...

[@PavitrasKitchenOriginal]

Wow super 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@oncetwicethird456]

Why don't they make it as a tourist attraction?

[@jennadee7974]

Only 20 comments?

Ultron should’ve dropped the meteor.

[@a-wanderingcloud0-014]

Wow

[@michiel9787]

The whale is no longer in Brugge, so don't go there just for the whale XD. Brugge is a nice city tho, kinda the Venice of Western Europe.

[@mervinclar1054]

what happened to the plastic that isn't color blue, white, black? they leave it? haha
