Plastic Poetry 018 | Orchard Villa Elementary School

In September 2024, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their 21st 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 written by Eugene from Ms. Hartman’s third-grade class at Orchard Villa Elementary School commissioned by O, Miami.

The five-inch letters are rendered in 3.99 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from various beach cleanups & collection groups found throughout Miami-Dade County in 2024.
