1546 – Hope

It might seem odd to post a picture of a milk Tetra Pak carton with this title, but the #Inktober2020 subject made me think of the environment and what hope there is for ‘saving the planet’ – (watch David Attenborough’s new film on Netflix if you want to see how vital this issue is). It might seem hopeless, but at long last, at the development where we live, we now have a collection point for recycling Tetra Pak’s (something called Rebins, I think run by Nestle)…that gives me some hope that someone cares.

#560 – Plastic bottle tree

ACE.560-plastic bottle tree 171207-2-wm

Yesterday I sat in our common garden and sketched the Christmas tree that the managers of the condo complex have put up. They have reused old plastic drinks bottles and fixed them to a big wire frame – quite imaginative and attractive. The lettering (it actually says Royal Palm) is unfortunately a bit ugly and unnecessary  – after all we all live here so we know the name of the place. Just the tree alone would have been more subtle.
