While we might change the place where we dump the garbage, it continues to remain forever.” This was the strong message given by Reclaim our Beaches (ROB), a Besant Nagar-based community youth collective and the Stella Maris Enviro Club (SMEC), as they set up a garbage art installation at Elliot’s Beach on Sunday.SMEC and ROB members gathered early to collect non-biodegradable garbage from the beach near the estuary area. This was used to make an art installation resembling a bottomless dumpster with an insatiable mouth that devoured the garbage.
