Organized by the Institute of Science and Environment (ISE) at the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) and sponsored by Sands China Ltd., “The Sea of Plastic: A Recycled Art Exhibition,” the culmination of a year-long project to raise awareness about plastic pollution and to promote sustainable practices, held its opening and award ceremony recently at The Venetian Macao.
To commemorate World Environment Day, which centered on the theme “Solutions to Plastic Pollution,” the event exhibited art from local artists and participants of the Plastic Pollution Artwork competition, who are currently pursuing studies at various levels.
The featured pieces emphasized the effects of plastic pollution on the environment. All artworks have been exclusively created or composed from fully recycled or reused materials.
In celebration of World Environment Day, Sands China turned off exterior lights and non-essential indoor lights at its properties on June 5 for one hour to support the annual global event.
