This sculpture was unveiled at the Mechanical Biological Treatment plant on 10 August 2010. Designed by Abbey Stevenson, a student at Comberton Village College, built by artists from the Rowan Humberstone Foundation and financed by Donarbon, it represents the massive impact people have on our planet. The sculpture is 4.5 metres high and has a frame with recycled timber, covered with thousands of aluminium drinks cans and glass bottles collected from Cambridgeshire residents' recycling collections.
