Grate Art is a project that incorporates Art for Awareness in any city or town, to remind people that drains flow to the ocean, or our rivers and lakes. The message from 8 local and Chinese artists in this case, on ceramic plaques, is not to dump in the drains (or the grates).

China is moving towards a circular economy for plastic, so let’s fast forward to a slowing economy in China, but one that is rapidly modernizing its methods of production, building new sectors that are leading in innovation, and even becoming robotic. Its resources are stretched, but now oil prices are low and are likely to stay that way for some time due to the decentralized oil pricing that fracking has brought to the equation, as well as the economies of scale that are now unfolding in the space of renewables, batteries, electric cars and the movement of smart money away from carbon-focused entities.
