Trash Isles
Award: Graphite Pencil
Graphite Pencil / Media / Use of Collaboration / 2018
In the North Pacific, an area of plastic trash the size of France has formed. Governments have simply ignored it so the Plastic Oceans Foundation and LadBible submitted an application to the UN to recognise The Trash Isles as an official country.
