What To Do!? Plastic Waste＜Miraikan＞

2023-04-01 ～ 2023-08-31
Aomi area

Recently, there has been an active movement to reduce plastic waste. There are increasing opportunities for us to encounter such changes in our daily lives. Reducing plastic waste is not only aimed at fighting climate change. The problem of marine plastic waste, which is not properly disposed of and ends up in our oceans and rivers, has been attracting attention around the world as a problem that is damaging the environment and destroying ecosystems.
What can each of us do to help solve this problem? In this event, we will search for solutions together with practitioners who are working to solve it.

◆Exhibit Structure

"What to do⁉ Plastic Waste" is divided into three main areas.

◎This Much!? Plastic waste that we generate

features an art object made with some 32kg of the plastic waste.

◎It's Serious!? Plastic Waste and Our Society

Why do we use so much plastic? What kind of problem is the problem of plastic waste? Panels are displayed to help visitors learn about the current state of the plastic waste problem.

◎Solved!? Toward a World Without Plastic Waste

How about thinking about the problem of plastic waste together with people who are actually working on solving it?
Here, the activities of five practitioners are introduced, alongside questions that we would like everyone who visits the exhibition to think about in order to aim for a sustainable future.
