PLASTIC: CAN’T LIVE WITH IT CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT
Plastic has great power, and with great power comes great responsibility. It has changed our daily lives and our environment more than any other material. The unsustainability of our relationship with plastic is well documented, but to stop using plastic is not an option. Its use has revolutionised industrial design, and more essentially, modern medicine relies on plastic so heavily that even the most basic medical procedures would be unimaginable without it.
PLASTIC at Science Gallery Dublin runed until the 9th of February 2020 and then toured to Wexford, Drogheda, Galway and Letterkenny.
Visiting Science Gallery’s PLASTIC exhibition you explored how we can responsibly use this versatile material, while fundamentally changing our approach to living with plastic.
