Such plastic waste suffocates the earth," says Kerkar. "This installation is to convey the message to stop littering of plastic and term it as an act of violence in Goa," he said. Travellers, who pass by the vibrant colourful installation, feel mesmerized by it. A tourist from Kochi told TOI he was impressed by the installation and the message that it was conveying. Shreyas Naik, a student at Goa medical college and hospital, Bambolim, said, "The installation is beautiful and colourful. It conveys a sense of happiness." Vendors also said business has picked up with footfalls increasing in the area. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/to-stop-plastic-litter-artist- makes-carpet-of-joy-with-1-5-lakh-bottles/articleshow/58466993.cms -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ Frederick Noronha http://about.me/noronhafrederick http://goa1556.in _/ P +91-832-2409490 M 9822122436 Twtr @fn Fbk: fredericknoronha _/ Goa,1556 shared audio content https://archive.org/details/goa1556 _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ -- -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe email [email protected] --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Saligao-Net" group.
