The number one Google search term for 2022 was climate-change – the first time that it ranked as a comprehensive yearly search term. Now many people are aware of its seriousness and are starting to think about solutions together. Creative art, from the Republic of Korea, are kick-starting this response from a uniquely artistic perspective. They use waste to make music – cellos from abandoned equipment from rural areas, stringed instruments of thrown away plastic toys – and compose piano songs based on the characteristics of endangered animals, to ask vital questions about the climate crisis.
