Elliot Mariess is a genius. His sculpture 'Waste' is making me want to live a greener life. And I've never wanted to live a greener life.
Elliot Mariess has done a powerful thing here. I want to help the Earth by recycling and upcycling, but I just don't really want to make the effort. 'Waste' is a cool, eye-catching idea, that makes me stop and think twice about my impact on the planet. I'm going to go cosplay as Captain Planet now.
