Garbage Bag Artwork is Meant to Get People Talking

By crafting sculptures from trash, some creative people in Tokyo are trying to remove the negative image of garbage while getting a dialogue going about the state of the planet.

There are many things in this world you never would have thought could go together, like Liza Minnelli and sobriety, or meatloaf and high end dining experiences. But somethings will surprise you, just like the garbage bag artwork here which I think is really, really cool.
