Plastic Poetry 017 Dr. William A. Chapman Elementary

In August 2024, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their 20th poem in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry.

Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that blends recycling plastics, plastic pollution, beach cleanups, public art, and poetry. The text was by written Nailah, a 4th grade student at Dr. William A. Chapman Elementary commissioned by O, Miami.

The five-inch letters are rendered in 5.62 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from various beach cleanups held throughout Miami-Dade County in 2023.
