Summary:
A sculpture of Big Ben has been unveiled in London’s South Bank. The sculpture is 6 metres tall and is made out of Coca-Cola cans. The artwork, made by Robert Bradford, was commissioned to mark the beginning of Recycling Week. The Big Ben is one out of four sculptures made to inspire more people to recycle. A replica of the Angel of the North can be seen in Gateshead. The two other sculptures, which are models of Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Birmingham Bull, will be unveiled on Monday. Hopefully the miniatures of these capital landmarks will encourage everyone to recycle more.
Opinion:
It is a great idea to make sculptures out of tin cans. It is original and people will probably want to see them. But will it really help encourage people to recycle more? Maybe people will think of recycling when they look at the sculptures, but they probably will have forgotten all about it in an hour. If you really want to encourage people to recycle more of their waste you need to make it easier for them to do so. A better way to encourage people is to give everyone a bin where they can trough there cans in. If you collect these bins when you collect the garbage, it will be easier for everyone to actually separate the cans from the rest of the garbage.
