Waste Age: What can design do?
(October 2021 – February 2022)
We all know waste is a big problem. So how are we going to fix it?
A new generation of designers is rethinking our relationship to everyday things. From fashion to food, electronics to construction, even packaging - finding the lost value in our trash and imagining a future of clean materials and a circular economy could point the way out of the Waste Age.
Explore major new exhibits that capture the devastating impact of waste including a large-scale art installation by Ibrahim Mahama made from e-waste in Ghana.
The exhibition showcases some of the visionary designers who are reinventing our relationship with waste, including Formafantasma, Stella McCartney, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Lacaton & Vassal, Fernando Laposse, Bethany Williams, Phoebe English and Natsai Audrey Chieza.
'We must face the problem of waste – we can no longer ignore what happens to things when we get rid of them. Instead of thinking of objects as things that have an end life, they can have many lives. This is not just an exhibition it is a campaign, and we all have an active part in our future.' Gemma Curtin, Curator.

This is not the report of the situation of the "Blue-green algae" on coasts of Finland but just a fake coloured picture which might be used as an illustration for some equal article. Water seems to be oily and stones polluted by the blue-green algae. Hmmm.

There was a very small freshwater creek entering the ocean at this point.
The entire course of the creek's journey over the rocks to the sea was carpeted in this interesting algae.

The "Algaeus," a Toyota Prius running on algae-developed gasoline and an electric motor, was the first vehicle to cross the United States using an algae-electric hybrid powerplant. Congressman Bilbray was on hand to receive the Algaeus as it arrived at the United States Capitol.

It looks like lichen, right? Turns out it's algae. The trees in this part of Point Lobos are covered in a Green Algae (it produces chlorophyll cells). The color of this green algae happens to be orange (due to carotene pigment). Strange. :-)
