One Illinois artist has found a creative way to make sustainable jewelry out of trash she collects off the streets.

After a trip to Costa Rica, Jessica McGhee learned how plastic harms the planet’s ecosystem, and decided to turn her focus from murals and sculptures to making wearable art instead.

Now the owner of “Love-Hey-Lola,” McGhee is receiving hundred of orders from all over the country and donating a portion of her sales to ocean conservation.
