We constructed a mural this year as part of a larger environmental project, in which we put together a vegetable and herb garden in our local area.

The message we wanted to send using this mural was that if young people working with a very low budget and mostly waste from home can make a difference in their local community and reduce waste then employees and employers in larger organisations could certainly do the same.

One of our goals was to encourage waste management and reduction, so we made our mural by upcycling materials such as magazine scraps, old packaging, etc and sticking them onto a large unused board we found lying around our building, thus giving them the new purpose of being our main campaign poster.
