Trash + Creativity = Art

Christmas in Dominican Republic

A plastic bottle is of very little value for most people that have access to electricity, running water & internet. But all it takes to make it worth something is human creativity...

... and apparently: more bottles.

One does not simply decorate the city with trash

Imagine you go to your local government and ask them for a permission (because hey, you need a permission slip to do anything now... with the exception of those very few countries where "freedom" actually means freedom) to decorate city with trash. Don't forget to mention it'll be nondegradable, noncompostable plastic. What do you think will happen?

Luckily, there are places in the world where putting plastic in public places won't get you in trouble.

My guess is there were no scissors involved. A machete perhaps?

Not everything has to be trash

I didn't expect to take a picture of snowman in 30 degrees Celsius. Isn't the world beautiful?
