British artists Joe Rush and Alex Wreckage have created a Mount Rushmore-inspired sculpture of the seven G7 world leaders, constructed entirely from electronic waste. Unveiled on the eve of the G7 summit in Cornwall, Mount Recyclemore aims to draw attention to the need to reduce e-waste.
"We need to recycle stuff, we need to make stuff last," said Rush via The Guardian. "We can't just throw it into landfill. It's not just a politician's problem; it’s a problem that the human race has to deal with."

That number is expected to grow to 74.7 million metric tons by 2030.
E-waste releases toxic chemicals into the environment such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, with terrible consequences both for the ecosystem and our own health. Failure to recycle and reappropriate resources from e-waste also means more must be mined to make new electronics, creating more greenhouse gases.
