Wake Up and Smell the Plastic:
A Semester of Waste
Students in Professor Finn's 3D Design course collected the majority of the plastic they used since the beginning of the semester which would otherwise enter into the waste stream.  The installation was created to emphasize the amount of plastic we use in such a short amount of time.  As a group, they designed the final installation to take something wasteful and turn it into something interesting and ascetically pleasing.
