Works of art appear to profess eco-friendly messages. They are Land Art and Junk Art. Land Art emphasizes raw nature. The purpose of Land Art is to have a new understanding of the environment and to apply it creatively.
Unlike Land Art, Junk Art focuses on works of art made from garbage or odds and ends. Junk Art criticizes urban civilization which yields various kinds of junk. Objects that have already been used are utilized to emphasize resource conservation in Junk Art. This also help to emphasize the concept of green environment.
