The idea for the project was a result of the wish to map illegal dumping sites, the number of which increases every year.
Thinking about how the things can be improved definitely took me back to my childhood, when everything was possible, but also when I followed the rules of behaviour imposed on me by my parents.
With a lot of play and even more education, all the obstacles were easily overcome.
The inspiration for this project was a famous LEGO figure, a part of my ever favourite brick set for building.
I wanted to show that only working with the youngest, the ones still at their pre-school age, we can influence their way of thinking about a very important issue – waste. Managing waste and recycling are some of the most important things for the future of our planet, which will still be there even when we are not.
That’s why this symbol of children’s play is first dressed in recyclable cardboard, then in plastic bags and nylon, and finally in secondary raw materials, which people recklessly dump in our environment.
Translated from Danish LEGO is an abbreviation from LEG GODT meaning have a good game.
This is also an appeal for all the adults to play good games with their children because it’s our ticket to a healthy future!
