Why ecology arts are beneficial for promoting plastic waste reduction issues

As an artist who has long been involved in outreach initiatives to convey the realities of the marine environment to children and young people, primarily through art, I have been referring to numerous relevant research articles and studies.

It is in our hands to either destroy or save Earth.

Art and other visual materials leave a more profound imprint on the subconscious than other information sources, such as reading and listening, which linger in people's subconscious memories longer.
Freud's assertion that "even in the unconscious mind, people store in their brains the thoughts and emotions of the present" further supports my outreach endeavors.

Many environmental problems were created by human behavior, and I continue my efforts in the hope that children exposed to and encouraged to consider these realities through visual materials will carry these memories with them for the rest of their lives.
