Monster Made Out of Plastic Bags
The group of enthusiasts were collected 40.000 used plastic bags and 7.500 used plastic cups from 12 kindergartens, 21 primary schools, 4 high schools and 3 faculties from the city of Ljubljana (Slovenia) and from more than 500 people from Ljubljana.
Plastic Bag Monster from Ljubljana spreads its plastic tentacles through the streets of Ljubljana. It symbolizes the spreading of the consumerism and waste segregation.

It is reproducing with inconceivable speed and knows no mercy. It feeds on individuals’ sloth and irresponsibility.
