]]>Recently, he initiated a project called “Future Forest,” where trash was transformed into a beautiful work of art. With the help of the heroes called Pepenadores in Mexico City, their children, more than 700 students, an orphanage, elderly home, and other volunteers, they turned 3 tons of plastic waste into a 500m2 colorful plastic forest filled with thousands of flowers, animals, and trees. The project is installed inside “Jardín Botánico de Chapultepec park as a part of this year’s Festival FYJA,” Thomas wrote on Instagram.
The project took 8 weeks to complete, from collecting trash to building the forest. And now, it’s on display for the next months. The local organization FYJA, who helped Thomas’ achieve this dream, will continue to keep the forest growing by running workshops where new kids can come and build new flowers, trees, and many more.
