An Aside - Beautiful Trash

Can design and a splash of pink make something disgusting into a thing of beauty?

TRASH:anycoloryoulike is "a vivid art intervention for urban beautification and environmental awareness. " In the summer of 2008, various artists (led by Adrian Kondratowicz) created biodegradable trash bags in order to transform piles of trash into beautiful street sculptures.

Does it transform waste into a thing of beauty? Does it lift the spirits of all those who roam the streets? Or does it call attention how much trash we actually use?

If interested, you can order your own biodegradable trash bags in various colors. Or you can try to recycle more. Or be functional like the rest of us and use old Target bags.
