Zero Waste Lifeline is a work of Art nearby.
Near the location on Hanson Road, In 2007 Lifeline an award-winning public art project was installed in the Range Wetlands in a bid to raise public awareness about environmental sustainability. Designed in collaboration with Cathoel Jorss, Greg Healey, James Hayter, and Andrea Jones it also highlights the need for a continued focus on reducing consumption and the amount of waste created.
In Nature, nothing is wasted.
The 'closed loop' systems of Nature leave no waste. Everything is reused if not by one species or system, then by another and - balance is restored. We disturb the balance of Nature when we take out resources and throw in waste.
The Zero Waste Lifeline as represented by these closed loop forms, suggests a way back to natural order – to using only the necessary minimum, to recovering, to recycling, to reusing and to eliminate landfill. By avoiding or reducing our use of materials and energy we slow down climate change and extend resource availability to future generations.
The Zero Waste Lifeline is set in the man-made Range Wetlands which filter and clean water draining from northern Adelaide. The wetlands support 200 species of birds, several of which migrate from across the world to feed and roost here.
