By incorporating images of ‘plastiglomerate’—an ugly tangle of plastic debris, sediment, and organic debris—this layout for Western Alumni Magazine evokes a visceral reaction from readers who are exploring the impact of plastics on our natural environment. Each twisted mass leads us to ponder how difficult it will be to extract plastics from our lives.
