Dear MEL Topic Readers,
G7: ‘Mount Recyclemore’ of leaders made from electronic waste in Cornwall
The 47th G7 summit took place from 11–13 June 2021 in the United Kingdom attended by the leaders of the regular member states including the UK, US, EU, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and guests from Australia, India, South Korea, and South Africa (<= all but one are the commonwealth countries)
A sculptor was commissioned by musicMagpie, a British online retailer buying and selling refurbished electronics and second-hand computer games, consoles, books, films, and music, to create a sculpture that depicts those world leaders in a place in Cornwall, England where the G7 summit was to take place. The sculpture was made of electronic waste, which amounted to over 53 million tons worldwide in 2019, and increasing each year as more people join the world of electric and digital convenience. The question is if just those publicly-elected G7 leaders are influential enough to change the world? Which countries produce more electric devices and appliances than the G7 countries combined?
Enjoy reading the article and see the photo and think if the world needs another one in front of the UN headquarters in New York.
