An artist installs a striking sculpture buried in plastic waste outside the UN during critical global plastic pollution treaty talks. Watch as Benjamin Von Wong's 'Thinker’s Burden' merges art and activism to pressure world leaders into action. The piece, inspired by Rodin’s 'The Thinker,' features a figure cradling a baby while submerged in plastic bottles, symbolizing the health and environmental costs of plastic pollution. Learn how volunteers collect trash to flood the sculpture daily, mirroring the urgency of the negotiations. With delegates from 184 countries in Geneva, will the first legally binding global plastic treaty be finalized this week? #PlasticPollution #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalArt #UNPlasticTreaty #ThinkersBurden
