He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him“Waste is not waste, but resources”, writes the Nigerian blog that has made the images of the young recycler viral.
For many internet users, the crocodile a young Nigerian made looks almost real, instead it is a sculpture made entirely from bottles and other plastic waste. The images of the reptile went viral after the African blog Aozforum published them through its social networks.
According to the Nigerian blog, the artist's intention is to demonstrate that materials considered waste can actually amount to something tangible and surprising when touched by a creative and enterprising mind.
On Twitter, the reaction from users was not long in coming and many congratulate the author of the work, show interest in proposing these types of works in children's parks, but also concern for the amount of plastic waste that they accumulate, hoping that all that he used has not been found in the artist's village.

At the moment we do not know the name of the creator of this plastic crocodile, the editorial team tried to contact the blog for more information, but without success. Although we too were amazed by the artist's creativity, we hope that the ban on single-use plastics will soon reach the world.
