As part of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) an enormous outdoor installation of fish was constructed using discarded plastic bottles on Botafogo beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
This another cool project based in London.
The sculpture will be displayed on the canal in the spring/summer 2012. Having the sculpture located near the Olympic locations will help to bring more attention towards environmental issues since all eyes will be on that area before and during the Olympics.

Watch your trash from start to finish as it moves through LA - can the likes of this and BinCam help encourage sustainable behaviour?! Creative idea, but in need of some serious development and less compliant participants (!).
Open Walls Baltimore is an unparalleled street art project, here's an overview of the spirit of the project.

Agbogbloshie is a suburb of Accra, Ghana known as a destination for legal and illegal exportation and environmental dumping of electronic waste (e-waste) from industrialized nations. Often referred to as a "digital dumping ground", millions of tons of e-waste are processed each year in Agbogbloshie
Processing electronic waste presents a serious health threat to workers at Agbogbloshie. The fumes released from the burning of the plastics and metals used in electronics are composed of highly toxic chemicals and carcinogens. Workers often inhale lead, cadmium,dioxins, furans, phthalates and brominated flame retardants.
Exposure to these fumes is especially hazardous to children, as these toxins are known to inhibit the development of the reproductive system, the nervous system and the brain.
