(Photo Taken: Outdoor Plastic Animal Sculptures, Causeway Bay. Sorry, I don’t buy the message. I just don’t see the connection of plastic bottles and these animals (Polar Bear / Elephant / Whale). You see, Bonaqua (a brand under Coca-Cola) is launching a new "twist-able" plastic bottle and claimed that the new design uses 30% less plastic. Consumers are able to twist and dispose the empty bottles – saving disposal space and providing more convenience for recyclers. Well, I think this outdoor awareness program back-fired and emphasis the harm of plastic materials in our environment. Less plastic doesn’t mean "more environmentally" friendly. One thing is for sure, these animals don’t need our rescue. It is "human" who needs the saving. Maybe Bonaqua should make a plastic "human sculpture" instead.)
