Pieces of garbage hang from the walls of the Corona Save the Beach Hotel, an unusual hotel built with garbage, in central Madrid January 20, 2011. The hotel, designed by German eco-artist H.A. Schult, has no intentions of competing with The Ritz or any luxury hotel: it's built using 12 tonnes of garbage collected from the beaches of Spain, Italy, France and Belgium, rubbish dumps and flea markets. The goal of Schult's installation is to raise awareness of the damage consumerism has on the world beaches. REUTERS/Andrea Comas (SPAIN - Tags: ENVIRONMENT BUSINESS SOCIETY TRAVEL)
