To raise awareness about environmental protection, students from the Dalian University of Technology recently created a series of images showing Lilliputian-like people, or “ant-men” as they call themselves, interacting with all kinds of garbage. /China Daily Photo

In the images, tiny people are trapped in plastic bottles, blown away while holding onto a plastic bag, or stuck in chewing gum. /China Daily Photo

“The dream of we ant-men is to make the Earth a better place,” the group said. “Take care of nature and use fewer disposable products. Small acts can make a big difference.” /China Daily Photo
