quar·an·trash : Garbage found littered around during the COVID19 pandemic.
This is a recurring theme in my work. Nature and the environment are very important to me and how we treat it and respect it plays a big toll on how we will all grow to make sure we have a place to continue to live and for future generations to continue to enjoy and love.
Once the pandemic was announced in March 2020, as just that a pandemic, I noticed that there seemed to be a lot more garbage dispersed around than what I had normally been photographing. It seems that people either were getting lazy or just didn’t care anymore. A lot of what I have been finding is disposable masks and surgical gloves, which makes sense due to the nature of BC’s current guidelines. What didn’t make sense though was how many of these items I was finding in areas where there were trash bins available.
We all need to do our part to keep the Earth clean. We all need to do better and make sure we use the resources we have available. You know that phrase, Don’t leave anything behind? Take what you brought back out with you? This should be a constant in our minds, no matter where we are, city or nature.
