The Ohio EPA is proud to present the National Recycling Day Art Show, exhibiting art from Ohioans that combines creativity with sustainability. Showcasing art crafted primarily with repurposed materials, this exhibition shows the innovative ways that people can find new life in materials and objects that are often simply thrown away. The art show is in honor of America Recycles Day, November 15th, recognizing the importance and impact of recycling, which continues to contribute to American prosperity and the protection of our environment.
By showing the creative ways in which different materials can be reused, the exhibit encourages visitors to utilize the 3 ‘R’s more in their everyday life:
1. Reduce: Reduce the amount of waste generated.
2. Reuse: Reuse products and parts.
3. Recycle: Use recycled resources.
Using these approaches are essential in reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators, conserving natural resources, and saving energy. The pieces in this exhibit show just one of the many ways in which Ohioans can achieve this, challenging the typical idea of recycling and inspiring attendees to think outside the box when it comes to environmental stewardship.
