Eco Factor: Sculptures crafted from junked license plates.
In an effort to educate people about the value of recycling and environmental conservation, artist Bill Thomson has begun a “Recycling Eagle Project,” which is being sponsored by BC Lions Society. Eagles are natural scavengers performing the clean-up task every day. Bill has made use of this quality of eagles and has designed eagles from junked license plates and other metal objects. The eagles have a built-in LED system which makes them glow after sunset. During the course of the project, Bill will install more than 150 eagle sculptures on all major highways in the city.
