A tap spewing plastic makes an eye-catching welcome at the gate of the G-South BMC office. The office located at Dharmil Naka, near Prabhadevi, got an artsy installation recently and is turning heads amongst visitors who look curious even as they hurry around with documents into the buzzing office.

A BMC official said, referring to the towering piece, “Assistant Commissioner BMC (G South) Swapnaja Kshirsagarji inaugurated a 15-foot tall ‘Plastic Flow’ on World Environment Day (June 5). This gives a message that ‘what we throw comes back to us.’ This year’s World Environment Day theme was ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’ and this art-sculpture we hope, will spread awareness, and resonate with citizens.”

Though June 5 is over and done with, the installation still stands, a reminder that environmental consciousness is not or cannot be a one-off thing or simply a buzzword on World Environment Day but one to be practised through the year and woven into everyday life.”
