The work is being displayed across the UK on large digital billboards in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle from 9th July for #plasticfreejuly and online at www.legoodsociety.com ‘Now more than ever we need to remind everyone how important it is to limit their plastic usage and what better way to do this than through art? More and more people have put plastic-free thoughts to the back of their minds as they deal with the urgency of the Covid-19 pandemic but plastic pollution continues to escalate at a dramatic rate, especially now disposable plastic masks and gloves have been added to the list.’ - Tia Grazette, Founder Le Good Society 'Our ancestors understood that we must live not for ourselves, but for the future. So if we don’t want to see our children swimming in plastic, eating plastic in fish and in sea salt, then we must stop purchasing single-use disposable plastic. End of story. And thank you to everyone championing this effort across the globe. #plasticfreejuly must soon be celebrated every month' - Sean Stone, Actor/Director & Le Good Society Ambassador In addition to the art displayed on billboards, appealing to and encouraging the general public to live with less plastic, artist Paul Robinson / LUAP will be exhibiting his ‘PLASTIC REALITY’ installation in the window of Its Club House in Mayfair. Original art works and prints will be available to buy online at www.legoodsociety.com including the Seawatercolour-insult-bottles series by Paul Davis and his limited-edition Seawater-bottle sculpture. Using seawater, ink and watercolour, Davis paints a variety of widely used water-bottles, added insults (to injury, as it were) to raise awareness around the urgency with which the worlds plastic addiction needs to be broken, if our perfectly balanced environment is to stand a chance. “We are to blame, not the plastic. We are the fools,” decries Paul Davis, Artist The exhibition is supported by Ocean For Oceans and OceanOutdoor. MMore Images and videos available of the art & billboards.
