For our project we hoped to shed light on the environmental impact of litter in the wilderness. Not only on a global scale, but in regards to something as local as a campsite. To highlight this environmental disaster we have constructed a simple campfire out of the litter we found in the campsite.
In recent history the American campsite has been a location for us to interact and connect with our environments, as well as a sanctuary for the local populations of wildlife. We chose to use the campfire specifically due to it's familiar iconic relation to camping. Typically, the campfire is built using natural materials found at the campsite (stones, logs, brush), but to highlight the environmental impact of litter, we have chosen to build ours out of the man made litter found at our site. So the idea of using found resources remains the same, but as man continues to litter in the wilderness the resources we find may ultimately change for the worst.
