Hans-Jürgen Schult (s 1939) on Saksa kunstnik, keda peetakse keskkonnakunsti pioneeriks. Ta on kogu oma karjääri jooksul loonud installatsioone ja häppeninge ning ta oma kasutanud prügi kui kunsti tegemise materjali. “Trash people” on projekt 1996. aastast ning seda esitleti kõigil kontinentidel. “Trash People” mahub 20sse konteinerisse ja nad esindavad tarbimisühiskonda, mille põgenikud nad on. Schulti teos tõstab esile, et inimesed loovad prügi ja muutuvad ühel päeval ka ise prügiks. Schulti teos oli oma ajast tõeliselt ees arvestades asjaolu kui põletavad teemad on ookeani prügisaared ja lagunematud plastiktooted.
