Recycled Soda Can Giraffes

African trash art is a vibrant example of African ingenuity. In Africa, most of the items we discard on a daily basis are carefully evaluated for reuse or re-purposing.

 

Where we have modern waste management and recycling programs to thank for our clean streets, African communities have increasingly less litter as artisans discover fun ways to turn trash into art, like these crazy aluminum can giraffes. Not only does such art allow African creativity to thrive and evolve, it also reduces the demand for hardwoods as a crafting material. Thumbs up!
