Jumoke Olowookere’s latest works are made from used vehicle tires painted in red, yellow and green. The creations join a collection of used plastic, cloth, wine corks, corn husks and other materials in what is called “Waste Museum” in Nigeria. 

Jumoke Olowookere的最新作品由用红色，黄色和绿色涂上的二手车轮胎制成。 这些作品在尼日利亚的“废物博物馆”中加入了二手塑料，布，葡萄酒软木塞，玉米壳和其他材料的集合。 

Olowookere said the museum is the first of its kind in Africa. She is part of a growing number of Nigerians who are using waste material to make art and clothing. Their work calls attention to the damaging effects of waste on the environment. 

奥洛克雷说，博物馆是非洲第一个同类博物馆。 她是越来越多的尼日利亚人的一部分，他们正在使用废物制作艺术品和服装。 他们的工作引起人们对废物对环境的破坏性影响的关注。 

At the recent opening ceremony for the museum in Ibadan city, she said, “With the Waste Museum, we are showcasing the value of waste.”

 在最近在伊巴丹市博物馆开幕式上，她说：“在废物博物馆中，我们正在展示废物的价值。” 

“We want people to see how waste can be turned into wealth. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that no waste goes into the landfill –– a zero-waste future is possible,” she added. 

她补充说：“我们希望人们看到浪费如何变成财富。我们的最终目标是确保没有浪费进入垃圾填埋场 - 零浪费的未来是可能的。

”Olowookere said she had the idea for a museum when she saw the amount of waste that came from her home. She started collecting the waste while reading up on how to reduce and recycle waste. Recycling is a process to make something new from something that has been used before. 

奥洛克雷（Olowookere）说，当她看到家中的大量废物时，她有一个博物馆的想法。 她开始收集废物，同时阅读如何减少和回收浪费。 回收是一个从以前使用的东西中制作新事物的过程。 

With support from the United States African Development Foundation, the Waste Museum was born.

在美国非洲发展基金会的支持下，废物博物馆诞生了。
