In a bid to raise awareness about the dangers of plastic pollution, volunteer group BD Clean has organised an exhibition of portraits and sculptures made of discarded bottles, polythene, packets of chips and cigarette filters themed as 'Save Earth, Save Bangladesh'. The nine-day event is being held at Mohakhali's T&T ground in the capital.
