Plastic

Used plastic knives and forks gathered over a period of time are rearranged into large-scale configuration of eating implements. The problem of plastic in a throw away society is visually and unambiguously brought before the eyes of festival visitor, who will be enjoying their delicious organic festival food in close proximity. The festival incorporates a 'wash against waste' feature, that eliminates plastic cutlery by ensuring normal cutlery is used and washed.

Competition: Guess the plastic The winner will be the closest guess of the number of plastic implements used . This is the amount of potential waste that was not created in the festival.
