 'Modern Art is Rubbish' is the theme, so it's no surprise that at the Recycled Sculpture Show at ZSL London Zoo (29 May-5 September) you'll encounter a polar bear cub made of plastic bags, a shark wrought from old hubcaps and a dinosaur made from discarded tyres.
The Recycled Sculpture Show kicks off the Love London Love Your Planet festival (1-21 June). It also coincides with Global Environment Day
 (5 June). The show features the work of 20 sculptors who have incorporated everyday waste materials to highlight awareness of pollution and the impact of human beings on threatened species and  habitats.I particularly like the bugs crafted from salvaged car parts. It's a good day out for children and a way to broach the topic of the environment.
"The sculptures really provoke debate about human waste and its effect on the natural world," says Sophie Townsend, Sustainability Manager at ZSL London Zoo. "There is no better setting for this than surrounded by some of the most endangered creatures on earth – many of which are close to extinction because of man’s insatiable lust for fresh resources."
