The greatest artistic creative geniuses I've ever seen have been those who can turn garbage into art , not just gluing together junk , but really making waste into something unique , cool , and good , something you'd put into your home for instance. There's something to be said about recycling and repurposing of those items we commonly throw away. The ability to take garbage and turn it into art , or something that is fascinating to look at is a skill all of its own. I have often said that the true geniuses of our time , that is to say , the creative genius artists of our era , are those who can do this — create art that can command a high price tag from junk. Over the years while traveling through the United States , I had gone into museums in many parts of the country. Some of the best art I've ever seen in my life has come from garbage , trash , or junk that has been reworked and recycled into something spectacular. Best of all the artists don't have much in material cost. In fact they are using their minds to do a lot with very little. Just think if we have used all our minds to do this , how little we might actually throw away , and how more efficiently we could run our factories , production , and even households. The waste will end up in a landfill , or a dump somewhere , and eventually it will decay in the soil , perhaps causing ground water pollution.However , if we can repurpose these items for a couple of more rounds , and waste less , then we are providing efficiency for our civilization , and that's a good thing.Any artist who can do this is not only one making contributions to the environment , but also one making contributions to humanity , using their brain power and creative genius to make us all better.
