Trash Talk Project - Lucas Hygate

Published on January 29, 2020

Twenty-one-year-old Lucas Hygate from Baie-d’Urfé has chosen to use art to raise consciousness around environmental issues. In his TrashTalk project, community cleanups become a starting point for creating sculptures out of waste, as well as a way of encouraging residents to do more to protect their environment.

Lucas has an ambitious goal: mobilize thousands of people and clean up 1 million pounds of waste in the Greater Montreal area. The $15,000 grant will be a big boost for the initiative, which organizers hope to make into a long-term phenomenon.
