*********************************
Mass-produced plastic products may have helped make life easier, but today there is not a single square kilometre of seawater in the world that is free of plastic.
The "Out to Sea? The Plastic Garbage Project" exhibition at the Hong Kong Science Museum combines art and science by showcasing works of art using plastic rubbish collected from the world's seas to illustrate how such waste is threatening the marine ecosystem.
News.gov.hk spoke with a curator who explained how the exhibition raises awareness of plastic pollution and to some students who collected plastic waste and turned it into artwork for the expo.
The story appears on news.gov.hk today (January 3) in both text and video format.
