DETRITUS: One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure

Curated by Yuko Nii & Assisted by Germania Reyes

It is important for us to know what we have always taken for granted in those materials that we believe to be eternally available for us, but if we mistreat mother nature, those common products of nature won’t be available in the future. In fact we are creating trash from what nature gives us to live. We need to be humble and appreciate and not waste these precious materials.

And it is also important for us to know the fact that while the world population has been increasing every year, the products of Mother Nature have been decreasing faster than we realized. The question is, how do we preserve the products of Nature so that we humans can share the limited resources and live together on this small planet Earth harmoniously, peacefully and happily. This is the one of the most critical challenges we are facing today.
