I don't feel it is a waste of materials. The group here in Wilmington, NC the I head, Port City Yarn Love, we yarn bomb poles and other everyday ugly objects. I used to do trees, but I get such flack about it that I stopped ( although the birds down town LOVE them. they tear them up for nests! really colourful nests!) We are an eco-conscious and social conscious group. Using leftover yarn from charity projects so that there is no waste... SOme yarn bombs look great for a year, some a month... And for all my fellow yarn bombers, an Idea-old yarn bomb scraps? stitch them together in a mini quilt for a shelter dog... they love them!
Seriously, yarn is less detrimental to the environment than paint or chemicals and it brings a smile to some faces! sit back and enjoy it... Before you bash it, ask a yarn bomber what they do wit the bombings... they will tell you!
