The Cultivate @ Courtyard 2019

Our Landscapes constantly change. From the formation of river meanders to the erosion of our mountains, it is all part of a natural process.

 

The River Wye has been at the heart of its riverside communities for hundreds of years. But what was once the main transportation link for people, foods and goods is today carrying a new cargo - Plastics out into the ocean. 

 

We eat, drink and even breathe plastic. It is not a necessity yet we treat it as one, contributing to a potentially deadly and irreversible change to both our climate and landscapes. The presence of plastics in our environment has created a silent monster, floating in our oceans poisoning our wildlife and even us.

 

Over the years people worldwide have ventured to the River Wye to admire the views of this beautiful place we call home. How much longer will we want to visit it if all we see is plastic?
