Plastics and environmentalism are bound up in a confusing mixture of contradicting thoughts, facts, beliefs and desires. This interactive installation, created by artist Lynne Chapman in collaboration with Professor Joanna Gavins, Dr Stefanie Hills, and Dr Emma Franklin, School of English, explores this issue. People can interact with the piece and consider conflicting views on plastic packaging, reuse and what it means to be environmentally friendly.
