A giant rainbow installation has been unveiled outside of Leeds Station to commemorate Earth Day.
The four by seven-metre structure is made from more than 2,500 recycled cans and has been created by the not-for-profit, Every Can Counts, to raise awareness around the importance of recycling. The rainbow will be on display outside the station by City Square until Monday night and ties into this year’s Earth Day, which focuses on diversifying, educating, and activating the environmental movement worldwide.
If every Leeds household put two more drink cans in their green bin every collection, there would be another 19 million cans recycled in Leeds each year. Last month also saw 10,000 more Leeds households move on to fortnightly collections aimed at supporting and encouraging increased recycling, with a further 20,000 more due to move on to weekly collections from early summer.
