In September 2026, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their 25th exhibition in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry.

Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that blends recycling plastic, plastic pollution, beach cleanups, public art, and poetry. The text was written by Franco, a 3rd grade student from Ms. Xuarez’s class at Emerson Elementary.

The five-inch letters are rendered in 2.9 pounds of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from community cleanups & collection groups located throughout Miami-Dade County.
