John,

Through the Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge, the city of Camden, New Jersey, was able to restore and revitalize shared spaces with art installations across the community.

But there's more to some of these artworks than meets the eye. Check out our series of videos to see how art can:

🚯 Fight Illegal Dumping 🚯

♻ Turn Used Plastic Bottles into a Large, Rotating Installation ♻

🌱 Use Sculpture to Turn Styrofoam Waste into Compost 🌱

By using recycled materials and natural processes, a number of the installations placed throughout Camden incorporate green innovations to prevent waste, and encourage people to rethink the impact we have through the materials we use -- and throw away.
