Addressing Medical Waste on Marine Debris through Art-Based Voices and Empowering Marginalized Communities

Recognizing the significant amount of waste the pharmaceutical industry generates, Ally uses art to address the issue of medical waste that contributes to marine debris. By combining art, environmental education, and cross-sector collaboration, Ally aims to create awareness, inspire action, and drive sustainable practices within the pharmaceutical industry. Through public awareness campaigns featuring art billboards with QR codes, Ally and her team will reach a wide audience, including community members, educators, young people, decision-makers, and corporations. Ally’s team will collaborate with community organizations and local artists to create art installations that reflect the experiences and perspectives of marginalized communities affected by medical waste. This inclusive approach aims to amplify the voices of these communities and shed light on the disproportionate impact they face. Additionally, Ally’s solution will involve organizing art workshops where participants can explore different artistic mediums, express their perspectives, and raise awareness creatively. This project will also use digital platforms and social media to share educational resources and engage with a broader audience. These activities will facilitate dialogue exchange between various stakeholders, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and will foster partnerships between artists, educators, pharmaceutical industry representatives, and decision-makers to develop innovative solutions that address medical waste and promote sustainable practices.
